Description:    Summary report - LMR/CF/03/01: Feasibility study into the establishment of a permanent regional fish ageing centre in one of the BCLME countries

Contracted to: BENEFIT
Author: Dr Deon Durholtz (Marine and Coastal Management – Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, South Africa)
Completion date: November 2003

Summary: This report documents a study that was aimed at assessing the need for and the feasibility of establishing a centralised fish age determination facility in one of the BCLME countries (Angola, Namibia and South Africa). The investigators were also tasked with making recommendations for terms of reference, structure and location of the facility, as well as evaluating the costs associated with the establishment and operation of the facility. The report identifies, through broad consultation, the age data required by the national fisheries management authorities in each country, as well as the current capacity for age determination in each of the three countries. This information was then used to establish whether or not the current capacity for age determination in each country is sufficient to fulfill the age data requirements in the long-term, and hence whether or not a central age determination facility is required in the BCLME.
