WorldFish Mission and Vision
Mission: To reduce poverty
and hunger by improving
fisheries and aquaculture
Vision: to be the research
partner of choice for
delivering fisheries and
aquaculture solutions in
developing countries
Research foci and impact
Focal Area
Reduce poverty and vulnerability
through fisheries and aquaculture.
Improve the lives of 15 million people in
priority countries within 6 years,
increasing to 50 million by 2022
through scale up and scale out.
Sustainably increase food and
nutrition security through fisheries
and aquaculture. Achieve annual
production growth rates of over 10% in
priority countries, leading to gender
equitable increases in per capita
consumption by over 20% for 20m
poor consumers by 2018 and
contributing to reduced micronutrient
deficiencies among these populations.

Key research question
Climate
Change
Vulnerability
and
Adaptation
How will climate change affect fisheries and
aquaculture in developing countries and
how can adaptive capacity be built?
Improved
value chains
How can we improve input and output
value chains to increase the development
impact of aquaculture and fisheries?
Nutrition and
health
How can investments in fisheries and
aquaculture best improved human nutrition
and health?
Gender and
equity
How can strengthening the rights of
marginalized fish dependent people reduce
inequality and poverty?
Sustainable
aquaculture
technologies
How do we increase productivity,
ecological resilience and development
impact of aquaculture?
Policies and
practice for
resilience
What policy and management investments
will increase the resilience of small-scale
fisheries and increase their contribution to
reducing poverty and hunger?

AAS - where annual aquatic production dynamics
contributes to household income
Household approach - Improving
productivity in AAS
• Limited diversity of crops and varieties
available to poorest farmers
• Over 75 varieties of rice, wheat and maize
+ tilapia and carps; but varieties not
sufficiently targeted to locations
• Increased dissemination and uptake of
technologies
• High adoption rates of new practices
• Reduced gender gap in technology adoption
rates
• Improved incomes
• Equitable sharing by men and women
• Increased share for poorest and vulnerable
Gender

 Impacts of catfish and tilapia on
climate change can be reduced
by 3-4 times through applying
technologies and management

Incubating SMEs…
• Collective arrangements cooperatives, farmer producer
companies..
• Collective arrangements allow
– Reduce transaction costs and
economies of scale
– Makes investment easier
• Capacity building takes time
• Business not project
• “Incubation”
• Opportunities to build business
ecosystem, network and build
scale
The future of certification?
• Wider coverage of
certification, or
alternative management
tools needed for the
other 90%..
