The workshop was jointly organized by the FAO Fishery Industries Division, the Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) in Mombasa (Kenya) and the Oceanographic Research Institute in Durban (South Africa), and was hosted by KMFRI. The participants represented national fisheries administrations, non-governmental organizations and scientific institutions. During the workshop, participants discussed existing bycatch policy and legislation, the state of bycatch knowledge and impacts of bycatch, as well as methods for reducing bycatch or improving bycatch utilization in their respective countries. The participants recommended the use of bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) in the region, to harmonize the data collection among the countries and the improved utilization of bycatch.--Publisher's description.

Bycatch is the unwanted or non-target part of the catch taken by fishermen. It is either discarded at sea or used for human or animal consumption. The capture of bycatch may pose a threat to species diversity and ecosystem health because this part of the catch is usually unregulated. In tropical shrimp-trawl fisheries, bycatch often consists of juvenile food-fish species and is therefore a threat to food security and sustainable fisheries production. Bycatch is a global problem that must be addressed. This Guide to Bycatch Reduction in Tropical Shrimp-Trawl Fisheries is designed for fishermen, net makers, fishing technologists and others interested in a practical guide to the design, use and...

La fauna acompanante o incidental (Bycatch) es la parte de la captura realizada por el pescador que no es parte de su objetivo de pesca o que no desea pescar. La captura de bycatch puede ser una amenaza para la diversidad de especies y bienestar del ecosistema ya que parte de esta capture usualmente no esta reglamentada. En las pesquerias de arrastre de camaron tropical, el bycatch frecuentemente esta compuesto por juveniles de especies de peces y es, en consecuencia, una amenaza a la seguridad alimentaria y a la produccion pesquera sostenida. El bycatch es un problema global que debe ser abordado. La presente guia fue disenada para pescadores, rederos, tecnologos, pesqueros y cualquier interesado en una guia practica sobre el diseno, uso y operacion efectiva de dispositivos reductores de fauna de Acompanamiento. Los administradores pesqueros, politicos y legisladores pudieran hallar esta guia de gran utilidad como ayuda en el desarrollo de especificaciones para la reglamentacion en el diseno y aplicacion de estos dispositivos en la pesqueria por arrastre de camaron. Publicado tambien en ingles y frances."
