Book Description
Le présent document examine les politiques qui favorisent l'aquaculture commerciale durable dans les pays en développement, en particulier en Afrique subsaharienne. L'aquaculture commerciale - l'élevage d'organismes aquatiques en vue d'en maximiser le profit - peut contribuer à la sécurité alimentaire et à l'allégement de la faim, de façon directe moyennant la production de poisson de consommation et, de manière indirecte, en générant le revenu pour l'achat d'aliments, les revenus pour les gouvernements, en améliorant la balance commerciale des pays par l'exportation des poissons ou la substitution de produits importés, en stimulant des avancées technologiques et en encourageant le développement de régions isolées

Book Description
Ce document définit les éléments d'une législation propre à favoriser l'émergence d'une aquaculture commerciale durable. La Loi sur l'aquaculture d'un pays donné doit offrir à l'exploitant un droit garanti à exercer des activités aquacoles, à utiliser le terrain sur lequel la ferme aquacole sera implantée, à obtenir un approvisionnement en eau de la qualité voulue, et, enfin, à disposer du produit de son activité. Elle doit également garantir la durabilité écologique de l'aquaculture, par la mise en place d'un système de permis ou de licences, sans toutefois imposer des coûts inutiles aux demandeurs. Seules les projets comportant un risque réel d'atteinte à l'environnement doivent être assujettis à une étude complète d'impact sur l'environnement. La surveillance de l'environnement doit s'étendre aux mesures de contrôle quant à l'utilisation d'espèces exotiques, de produits de la technologie moderne et notamment d'organismes génétiquement modifiés (OGM); à la lutte contre les maladies et à la gestion sanitaire; et, enfin, aux préoccupations concernant la qualité de l'eau suscitées par le projet envisagé.

Book Description
Volume 3. This document identifies elements of a legislation that will encourage the emergence of a sustainable commercial aquaculture. The aquaculture law of an individual country must provide the operator with a secure right to conduct aquaculture operations, to the property on which the farm will be located, to good quality water and to the produce. It must also ensure environmental sustainability, through permit or licence systems, without imposing unnecessary costs on applicants. Only proposals with the potential for serious environmental harm should be subjected to a full environmental impact assessment. Environmental supervision must extend to controls over the use of exotic species and products from modern biotechnology including genetically modified organisms, disease control and health management and to any water quality concerns created by the proposed project. To minimise costs, countries are encouraged to adopt a single window approach for the numerous approvals usually required for an aquaculture operation and screen initial applications. They could also consider creating a single agency to promote aquaculture and to monitor the progress of applications. Aquaculture regimes of selected African countries are measured against the elements required to encourage sustainable commercial aquaculture, and improvements that are applicable to all countries in sub-Sahara are suggested.

Book Description
This volume, the second of three on commercial aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa, discusses access to investment capital, one of the major obstacles to the development of a sustainable commercial aquaculture in this region. Among the key problems, are the excessively high interest rates on loans; bankers' perceptions that the industry is prone to failure; the lack of understanding by farmers of the financial options available, and limited information about other commercially successful aquaculture enterprises in this area. The study argues that banks need to take a less pessimistic view of the commercial viability of such enterprises, but that borrowers should also learn to formulate and develop a clear business plan, outlining how they intend to repay the loans requested. A number of options are available to improve the situation. Such as "no-collateral" strategies, through group lending, village banks and solidarity groups, that would persuade lenders of the committment of the those wishing to set up a commercial aquaculture business. Overall a need for legal and regulatory reform, along with the institution of government loan guarantees could help develop and improve the options for a commercially viable aquaculture business.

Book Description
This study considers the elements of a legal framework designed to promote a sustainable commercial aquaculture. These relate to: a secure right to property and clean water; avoidance of unnecessary costs; and a licence system, including a system for environmental impact assessments and enforcement of codes of practice. Environmental supervision should extend to: controls over the use of exotic species and products from modern biotechnology. These include genetically modified organisms, disease control and health management, and to any water quality concerns created by the proposed project. The study analyses the aquaculture industries of Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria and Zambia against these criteria. Improvements in legislation applicable to the individual countries, but which require consideration by all sub-Saharan countries are then suggested.
