Resumen
Descripción
This report describes current fisheries statistics collection systems in six countries of the Bay of Bengal region — Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Thailand (west coast), Malaysia (west Peninsular) and Indonesia (Sumatra, north of the equator). Suggestions for improving existing systems are made for each country. It is hoped that the report will be useful to national fisheries statistics organizations, planners and policy makers. The report was sponsored by the Marine Fishery Resources Man agement Project (RAS/81/051) of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). BOBP’s Senior Fishery Biologist provided supervision and guidance for activities described in the report. RAS/81/051 commenced in January 1983 and terminated in December 1986. It was funded by the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) and executed by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). Its objective was to improve the practice of fishery resources assessment among participating countries and to stimulate and assist joint management activities between cbuntries sharing fish stocks.
