Book Description
The work presented here summarizes published research from Mexico, also linked to an FAO summary, plus studies from India, Indonesia and Peru. In collaboration with various country programmes and local research groups, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) examined shark and ray value chains. The goal was to provide valuable information for fisheries and environmental agencies, shedding light on the role of non-fin commodities derived from sharks and rays in fisheries and trade. To effectively conserve shark and ray resources, we must adopt a more holistic understanding of their fisheries and markets. Historically, the focus has primarily centred on regulating the export of shark fins, often overlooking traditional and emerging fishing practices (and markets) related to other elasmobranch products (such as meat, skin, cartilage, liver oil, and gill plates). Due to limited examination of non-fin commodities, we lack clarity on their sources, the extent of exploitation, and their significance as drivers of elasmobranch utilization. The report aims to shift attention towards non-fin commodities in shark and ray management. By doing so, we hope to expand the range of potential interventions that can be employed to achieve sustainable elasmobranch fisheries – a critical source of food security, nutrition, and livelihoods for coastal communities worldwide.

Book Description
The study undertaken for this report analysed the value chains of shark and ray non-fin commodities in Peru to determine trade, flow and context in terms of their economic, sociocultural and environmental characteristics and the conclusions of this diagnosis relate to the sustainable use and management of aquatic resources. Preliminary activities involved gathering and reviewing available background information to provide a basis for identifying and selecting elasmobranch commodity value chains and supply chain networks where surveys could potentially measure change in the relationships between aquatic resources, value chain actors and consumers. Surveys were subsequently designed to diagnose specific issues and, where possible, to assess knowledge gaps as a measure to reveal unknown and data-deficient value chain scenarios. The subsequent survey deployment stage captured both qualitative and quantitative data, which was then analysed in conjunction with the preliminary background information gathered to indicate trends, stakeholder relationships, and value chain diagnosis enabled issues at key points across the elasmobranch value chains to be identified. Results were categorized relating to specific commodity domains, stakeholder clusters, across value chain networks and cross-linked supply chain systems to determine the drivers of cause and effect which enabled leverage points to be identified which offer opportunities for adaptive management. Fisheries management recommendations are also concluded where value chain diagnosis indicated statistically significant results and scenarios relating to compliance.

Book Description
This report is the outcome of a study on shark and ray non-fin commodities in India, carried out by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (ICAR-CMFRI) for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by FAO. The study recognizes the role of shark non-fin commodities in nutrition, trade and livelihoods and seeks to enhance the understanding of shark product utilization in India, which will complement India’s national plan of action on sharks and support policy matters on sharks.

Book Description
Sharks are only a small proportion of world recorded fish landings, but they are a versatile and valuable resource. They sustain important fisheries in several countries and are a cheap but valuable source of protein for coastal communities dependent on subsistence fisheries. Sharks are exploited for their meat, fins, teeth, cartilage, liver and other internal organs. This report details species used and methods of preparation for various purposes.

CITES and the sea
Author: Pavitt, A., Malsch, K., King, E., Chevalier, A., Kachelriess, D., Vannuccini, S., Friedman, K.

ISBN: 9251338779
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
Fish and fish products are amongst the most highly traded food items in the world today, with most of the world’s countries reporting some fish trade. This assessment of commercial trade in CITES-listed marine species occurs within a broader context of globalization and a more general rapid expansion of the international trade in fish and fish products. It summarizes ten years (2007–2016) of trade in a subset of commercially exploited marine taxa listed in CITES Appendix II. We examine both CITES trade data reporting processes (including information on the practical elements of reporting by CITES Parties) and analyse CITES trade records. The analysis shows how, for Appendix II CITES-listed marine species, the overall number of direct export transactions reported by CITES Parties has increased sevenfold during 1990–2016 and how trade for each CITES-listed marine species sub-group has changed through time. An assessment is made, with assistance from species and trade experts, on the strengths and challenges of collating and reporting on trade in CITES-listed marine species. Additional datasets of relevance to marine species trade are highlighted, and recommendations for further refining and improving CITES trade reporting for marine species are provided.

Field Identification Guide to the Sharks and Rays of the Mediterranean and Black Sea
Author: Fabrizio Serena
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9789251052914
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
This volume presents a fully illustrated field guide for the identification of the sharks and rays most relevant to the fisheries of the Mediterranean and Black Sea. An extensive literature review was carried out for the preparation of this document. A total of 49 sharks, 34 batoids and 1 chimaera are fully treated. The presence of 5 sharks and 2 batoids included in this field guide, need, however, to be confirmed. The guide includes sections on technical terms and measurements for sharks and batoids, and fully illustrated keys to those orders and families that occur in the region. Each species account includes: at least one annotated illustration of the species highlighting its relevant identification characters; basic information on nomenclature, synonyms and possible misidentifications; FAO common names; basic information on size, habitat and biology, distribution, importance to fisheries, and conservation and exploitation status.
