1 Biodiversity issues for sustainable aquaculture Responsible use and control of introduced aquatic species FAO/SPC Regional Scoping Workshop: Development of a Pacific Aquaculture Regional cooperative Programme Nadi, Fiji October 2011 Ruth Garcia Gomez ruthgg@spc.int
2 Biodiversity... Biodiversity for food and agriculture is among the earth s most important resources. Crops, farm animals, aquatic organisms, forest trees, micro-organisms and invertebrates thousands of species and their genetic variability make up the web of biodiversity in ecosystems that the world s food and agriculture production depends on.
3 The relevance of aquatic biodiversity The projected increase in the world s human population over the next 50 years is thought to require an increase in food production of times. FAO estimates that an additional 40 million tones of fish per year will be required to meet global demand by Recent results presented by the SPC show that the Pacific region s growing populations will need an additional 100,000 tonnes of fish by 2030, if present per capita fish consumption is to be maintained.

4 The relevance of aquatic biodiversity As a region, aquaculture is not the only option for PICTs though it is certainly considered an important one. The "fish for food security" work led by SPC has identified three options to deliver additional fish: (i) land more of the offshore catch for domestic consumption rather than export it, (ii) promote inshore FADs, and (iii) aquaculture. Aquaculture development for food security and to increase rural livelihoods is a priority sector for most PICTs, identified in national and regional strategies and plans.
5 The relevance of aquatic biodiversity Aquaculture Aquaculture continues to be the fastest-growing animal-food-producing sector and to outpace population growth, with per capita supply from aquaculture increasing from 0.7 kg in 1970 to 7.8 kg in The contribution of aquaculture to world food fish production soared from 3.9 percent in 1970 to about 46 percent in 2009, with growth expected to continue. Source: Fishstat plus 2011 There are concerns that unconstrained expansion and intensification, coupled with fluctuation of markets and resources, climate change...may have undesirable impacts on the resilience of socio-ecological systems. Sustainability: the ability of aquaculture to achieve future needs will depend on accessing new areas of production and increased efficiency of production from existing areas.
6 The relevance of aquatic biodiversity The world s wealth of aquatic biodiversity at gene, species and ecosystem levels provides the potential for the aquaculture sector to enhance its contribution to food security and meet future challenges in feeding a growing human population. Aquatic biodiversity underpin the productivity and sustainability of the aquaculture sector growth. Aquaculture, including culture-based fisheries and capture-based aquaculture, involves the farming of: *Source: Fishstat plus 2011
7 The challenge is to maintain a broad genetic base for the future Which species will be the next Pangasius? How to balance? - The need to produce more fish for food security through fisheries and aquaculture; and - The potential effects of fisheries and aquaculture development on biodiversity.
8 Aquatic species introductions Aquatic species introductions are a valid means to improve production and economic benefit from fisheries and aquaculture. However, introduced species have also been identified as one of the major threats to native biological diversity. Introduced species may also adversely impact human communities that depend on this native biodiversity for food and livelihood. Benefits and risks: soc/econ - ecol Source: FAO Database on aquatic species introduction, DIAS
9 Aquatic species introductions Main reasons for deliberate introductions of aquatic species: - Aquaculture; - Fisheries; - Ornamental purposes; - Biological control; - Research; and - Recreational purposes. Accidental 5% Other 3% Research 3% Bio Control 5% Ornamental 7% Unknown 16% Diffusion 4% Fisheries 17% (Source: DIAS) Aquaculture 40% Aquaculture 39%
10 Aquatic species introductions Boon or bane? On the other hand Introduced species - Ecosystem change (predation, competition, habitat modification). - Introduction of pathogens. - Genetic impacts (hybridization, introgression, outbreeding depression). Threat to biodiversity Negative socio-economic impacts - Approximately 17 % of the world's finfish production is due to alien species. - Production of the African cichlid tilapia outside Africa reached 2.4 million tones in 2008, representing 8% all finfish produced in inland waters (freshwater and brackish water) outside Africa.

12 Main drivers for species introductions Commercial/economic drivers: Early entry profits for aquaculture; The commercial demand for new aquaculture products to try new markets, diversify, or replace existing species that have culture or marketing problems; Ease of working with many introduced species: Many introduced species used in aquaculture have been the subject of genetic improvement, domestication and health programmes; Promotion of new technologies (e.g. Specific Pathogen Free or high performance stocks); An important driver, uniquely for PICTs, is that, despite the high biodiversity, hardly any of the indigenous species have been domesticated or form the basis for internationally traded aquaculture commodities. Species mostly have complex life cycles, or comparatively slow growth rates, or the capacity to develop domestication programmes is limited. Food security and rural development. Small-scale private and public organizations and large numbers of small-scale farmers use easily raised introduced species as cheap food for the rural poor. Biological control.

15 Requests for advice: SPC continues to receive requests from member PICTs for information about possible introduction of aquatic species for aquaculture. SPC has provided technical assistance to several member PICTs for the development of proposals for introduction of... - GIFT Nile tilapia. - Cobia, Rachycentrum canadum. - Sandfish, Holothuria scabra. - Improved Euchema spp. strain. Food security Biodiversity
16 Potential contradictions exist in Pacific regional and national initiatives The 2010 Framework for Action on Food Security in the Pacific calls for PICTs to Promote commercial aquaculture to supply farmed fish to urban markets; continue to support aquaculture where appropriate. (Theme 3, Strategy 2, Action 7). But also to Strengthen biosecurity and quarantine systems to curb the import of invasive species, pests and diseases and to respond as necessary at national and regional levels (Action 1).
17 Outcomes of the 7 th SPC Heads of Fisheries Meeting: Aquatic species introductions: national responsibility; Balance benefits and risks of introductions Risk Analysis (need for appropriate tools and information sources to support decisions); Potential for the use of indigenous, rather than introduced, species for aquaculture; A complete prohibition on any new introductions is not consistent with international practices of food production; and Proposal to develop a regional framework for management of aquatic animal health and bio-security (species introductions are included) in support of sustainable aquaculture development.
18 Benefits vs Risks? How can the two sides of aquatic species introductions be handled? Management of introduced species must address both beneficial and negative aspects. The ability of an introduced organism to become established and to become invasive involves a mixture of the characteristics of the organism and the environment where it is being introduced. Information is the key Uncertainty Arising from a lack of basic information; Arising from unknown interactions within a given system; Arising from shifts on interactions in physical, biological, social and political systems.
19 The Precautionary Approach A means to handle uncertainty and incomplete information. The precautionary principle is widely adopted in regards to managing uncertainty in aquaculture management. The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (FAO, 1995) encourages States to: apply the precautionary approach widely to conservation, management and exploitation of living aquatic resources in order to protect them and preserve the aquatic environment. The absence of adequate scientific information should not be used as a reason for postponing or failing to take conservation and management measures.
20 Conclusions While aquaculture, as a production industry, can benefit significantly from conservation and sustainable use of aquatic genetic resources, ironically, the industry also has significant potential to increase the rate of biodiversity loss in the future if genetic resources are not well managed... Responsible management of aquatic biodiversity: use, access, exchange and conservation. Effective policies and plans. Better information including characterization of aquatic genetic resources at different levels. Wider use of genetic applications in fisheries and aquaculture.
21 Conclusions Regarding introduced species The practice of using species outside their natural range to increase production or profitability can be expected to continue. The issue is not to ban alien species - or to abandon regulation of their movement - but rather to assess associated risks and benefits and then, if appropriate, develop and implement a plan for their responsible use. Decisions to introduce alien species have far reaching social, economic and ecological implications and should be based on careful assessments of longterm benefits and risks. Policy-makers should have the necessary information in order to balance these benefits and risks. The establishment of a Regional Framework for management of aquatic biosecurity in support of sustainable aquaculture development could be a possible approach.
