Technical studyA short history of industrial fishing in the Pacific islands 2007
Also available in:
No results found.This short history explores the development of industrial fishing in the 22 countries and territories in the central and western Pacific Ocean. It traces the first substantive industrial fishing which was carried out by the Japanese in the 1920s and 1930s to the development of sashimi freezer longlining by the Japanese and tuna purse-seining by the Americans. Important recent developments in the Pacific islands include the entry of tuna vessels from China into the fishery and the developme nt of domestic longlining in most countries. Besides industrial tuna fishing, which occurs in the waters of all Pacific island countries, the only other significant form of industrial fishing in the Pacific islands region is shrimp trawling in Papua New Guinea. This document concludes with some important lessons learned, namely that government-owned tuna fishing companies are rarely successful and that most industrial-scale opportunities for the foreseeable future are likely to be tun a-related. -

Corporate general interestHistory of camelids 2025
Also available in:
No results found.From alpacas to Bactrian camels, dromedaries, guanacos, llamas, vicuñas and wild camels, camelids contribute to food security, nutrition and economic growth. They provide transport and produce milk, meat and fibre, even under the most extreme climatic conditions. Camelids also hold strong cultural significance and make an important contribution to the conservation of fragile ecosystems. Crucially, they build resilience to the impacts of the climate crisis – particularly in mountains and drylands.This volume forms part of the series Camelids: Heroes of Deserts and Highlands, Nourishing People and Culture, developed within the framework of the International Year of Camelids 2024, declared by the United Nations. It examines the evolutionary history and process of domestication of camelids, exploring the origins of their early ancestors and the use of camelids throughout history.
