Focal point
Location
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

水产养殖的发展. 6. 将野生渔业资源用于以捕捞为基础的水产养殖. 5 补编 6
这些技术准则是对粮农组织《负责任渔业行为守则》（《守则》）的 补充。《守则》以及许多国际协定和会议均通过渔业生态系统方法和水产 养殖生态系统方法中所阐述的原则和概念，强调了采用此类方法的好处及 必要性。本准则的目的是协助各国，特别是在涉及大量利用自然资源的 情况下，以可持续的方式发展水产养殖业，争取在保护后代所需资源基础 的前提下，创造最大的社会和经济效益。过去十年来，人们不断认识到以 捕捞为基础的水产养殖（CBA）对野生资源的严重依赖及其对野生种群的 影响。这些准则专注于野生苗种采集给包括受威胁物种在内的主捕和非主 捕（兼捕）物种、生物多样性和环境及海洋生态系统造成的实际和潜在影 响。本准则还论述了捕获和采集后规范、养成、饲料和亲体、社会经济因 素和治理等问题。这套技术准则确定了CBA的原则和良好规范准则，提供 了大量有关不同品种和渔业的说明性案例研究。
