This document reports on the results of a workshop on selective fishing and balanced harvest which took place in Nagoya in October 2010. The workshop examined the extent to which selective fishing as currently and traditionally practiced is able to contribute effectively to both ecosystem and fisheries sustainability. The workshop also discussed what a shift from the conventional paradigm of gear/fishery selectivity to that of a more balanced harvest would imply for the ecological and management dimensions of sustainability.
Le poisson et les produits de la pêche sont un moyen de subsistance et fournissent dimportantes opportunités de commerce dans de nombreux pays côtiers en développement. Les accords de pêche ne sont souvent pas le résultat darrangements justes et égaux et peuvent contribuer à la surexploitation des ressources et menacer la sécurité alimentaire de ces pays. Ce manuel constitue un outil pratique et théorique pour soutenir les négociations daccords de pêche bilatéraux.
