dc.descriptionA significant amount of research and development is being conducted in fishing technology in Latin America. The Fishing Technology Service of the FAO Fisheries Department sent inquiries to contacts in Latin American countries to gather information on current activities and on the potential for increased international cooperation. The document includes responses from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Peru and Venezuela. Some common research areas of interest include fishing gear effi ciency and selectivity, bycatch reduction, improvement of artisanal fishing technology, the introduction of more advanced electronics, remote sensing, exploration of deepwater resources, and exploration of non-traditional species and fishing grounds. All respondents indicated interest in expanding international cooperation. Considering the similarities in biological, technical, social and economic challenges that fisheries organizations now face, and the wealth and variety of expertise within the region, the potential benefits from increased cooperation appear very great.
