| Ciguatera poisoning (CP) is reported in historical documents of the sixteenth century. The first report of the organism Gambierdiscus (originally referred to as Goniodoma sp.) dates from October 1948, in Cabo Verde. Today, the term ciguatera identifies poisoning caused by the ingestion of certain reef fish and shellfish from tropical and subtropical regions, especially the South Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Through the food chain, these fish and shellfish have accumulated certain lipid‑soluble toxins (ciguatoxins [CTXs]) that are produced by dinoflagellates of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa. Ciguatera is a worldwide problem that is expanding due, among other reasons, to climate change. In general, CP can be regarded as the most... |

| Aichi Biodiversity Target 11, adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the CBD in 2010, aims to improve the status of biodiversity by safeguarding ecosystems, species and genetic diversity through area-based conservation. The Parties to the CBD are now promoting a valuable opportunity to acknowledge the role of “other effective area-based conservation measures” (OECMs) in biodiversity conservation beyond protected areas, and to work towards the common goals of biodiversity conservation and sustainable fisheries management. This includes specific approaches in area-based fisheries management that have tangible benefits for biodiversity conservation. A main value of OECMs is that they are an opportunity for many sectors, whose first priority is not... |

| The FAO Technical Workshop on “Best-practices for the implementation and reporting of SDG indicator 14.4.1 – Percentage of biologically sustainable fish stocks” was held in Rome, Italy, from 21 to 24 November 2017. The purpose of the Workshop was to raise awareness of SDG 14.4.1’s significance and global reporting process, provide technical training to national practitioners on the analytical methods to produce Indicator 14.4.1, and look for examples of datasets and indicators from which best practices can be compiled. It was attended by 12 participants, with specific expertise on fish stock assessment, who contributed in their individual capacities to the discussions and delivered presentations focusing on their country’s fisheries, resource management,... |
