A base-line data on published studies and reports on the different
issues concerning the interactions between capture fisheries and
aquaculture, with particular reference to the Mediterranean, was
created and is being compiled, as follow-up of the FAO AdriaMed
Expert Consultation on “Interactions between capture fisheries and
aquaculture” held in Rome in November 2003.
Publications refer to the four fisheries dimensions (governance,
ecological, economic, social), which were highlighted and discussed
in the above mentioned consultation. This first version of the
database mainly focuses on the ecological dimension.
These publications were selected in order to have as many as
possible review papers, where the information is already gathered
and commented by experts. References were obtained mainly through
the ASFA (Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts) database,
through the use of several different key words, as many disciplines
are concerned with the interactions between aquaculture and capture
fisheries. Other searching tools, such as cross references and main
web search engines, were also used. Publications can be selected
through the use of the reference tables below.
This on line database cannot be, and does not aim to be, exhaustive
neither in terms of issues considered nor in terms of publications
screened. A large amount of literature has been recently published
on this topic, and it may yet not be included in this database,
which will be periodically updated. In this respect contributions or
suggestions of text papers on these issues are most welcome and can
be addressed to the Project.
