Western Cameroon is one of the regions most in needs of innovative and healthy solutions for freshwater fish conservation. This study aimed at evaluating the socio-economical characteristics of fish smokers and technical factors on the species smoked in the Noun Division. A total of 91 fish smokers were chosen. The socio-economic data were on age, gender, religion, number of dependents, marital status, ethnic group, education level, economic activities, smoking goals and workforce. The results of this study showed that fish smoking is practiced mainly by women (70%) which is common in Sub Sahara Africa small scale fish sector. The smokers are aged from 20 to 50 years (80%), married (92.2%) and taking care of a family of 1 to 10 persons (80%). These smokers are Muslim (74%), belonging to the Bamoun ethnic group (81%). They were also involved in other activities: agriculture (29%) and trade (1%). About 67% of the sampled smokers’ population had an experience of more than 10 years in the domain. The Purpose of smoking was largely sales (97%) and subsistence (3%). Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was the most smoked species (36%), followed by African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) with a proportion of 32%. The average quantity of fresh fish smoked was 110 kg/day/smoker, with Oreochromis niloticus being more produced (60±4.74 kg/day/smoker). With regard to the smoking techniques used, hygiene measures were poorly respected. The major constraints revealed by the survey were that freshwater’s traditional fish smoking activities in Noun Division are influenced by gender, economic and cultural background. There is a lack of technical support material and financial means. Any implications for future investigations on health and food safety will be suitable for fresh fish smokers and the entire consumers.

The seasonality of fish marketing is a very important character for aquaculture production. We analysed data regarding the situation at the Czech market in 2015 and 2016 available in the information system of the State Agricultural Intervention Fund. The most significant volumes of freshwater fish were traded by traditional pond aquaculture companies (TPA) and approx. 1/3 of the all‑year production was sold at the end of the year (December). Another significant time when the supply of live fish from the TPA on the domestic market slightly increased was in March and then in April, i.e. before Easter, which represented approximately one fifth of all aquaculture production. The weakest periods in terms of marketing fish of TPA were the beginning of the year, i.e. during the first two months (January and February) and the period from May to September. On the contrary, the situation was different in intensive fish aquaculture companies (IA) which had the most significant volumes traded between April and September and then in November and December. However, the sold volume of fish from IA was not strictly concentrated in a single period.

The fishery complex of the country is a significant segment of the economy, concentrating all kinds of resources for socio-economic development. The main goal of the country’s fishery complex is the production of fish and fish products for the population. Along with this, an expert assessment of the economic activity of the studied sector of the economy made it possible to identify some problems. The solution to these problems in 2013 was consolidated into a general concept, which served as the basis for the formation and implementation of the state program with total funding until 2020 in the amount of more than 92 billion rubles. In 2020, the program was prolonged, and some target areas were updated according to planned results, while financial support for the coming period amounted to about 52 billion rubles. Currently, the catch (extraction) of aquatic biological resources has increased, safety control has been strengthened, new water areas for fishing activities are being reclaimed, etc. However, there are some problems: marketing activities, updating the material and technical base, reconstructing coastal ports, increasing the share of proceeds through the sale of primary and deep processing products, and developing freshwater aquaculture. At the same time, there is an increase in the economic efficiency of the subjects of the fishery complex, as well as a noticeable social effect in terms of creating new jobs and increasing wages. An analysis of the consumption of fish and fish products by the population showed that a certain deficit has formed in the food market over the past three years, which is caused by numerous factors of internal and external influence. Despite the complexity of the emerging problems in the studied complex, Russia acts as an active partner in the supply of fish and other aquatic biological resources to the world market.

The study attempts to determine the training needs of the farmers emphasizing nine selected major thematic areas. Under each major component, specific and relevant training needs item were collected and systematically incorporated into an interview schedule and administered in terms of frequency of training imparted. Four districts were purposively selected for the study and a total of eighty farmers were randomly selected from four districts. Primary data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study revealed that more male was involved in farming and 45% farmers were middle age category (30-39 years). Majority of the farmers completed primary level of education compared to other categories and family size of more than half (60 %) of the respondents was three. Majority number of respondents (57%) had more than 10 years farming experience. A small number of farmers (8.75%) had owned agricultural land and 45% had land between 0.50- 1 hectare. More than 75% of annual gross income of 57.50% farmers came from agricultural activities. More than half (55%) of the respondents collected information on crop and its varieties by own attempt while about 34% was informed from seed seller or dealer. Farmers in Chattogram district had first priority to get training on integrated pest and diseases management, production of bio control agents and bio pesticides, marketing and transportation. Water management, integrated pest and disease management, vermi-compost production, marketing and transportation ranked first in Khagrachori district. The areas of priority for training in Rajshahi district were production and management technology, processing and value addition, marketing and transportation, integrated pest and disease management, water management and vermi-compost production. Training on integrated pest and disease management, bio-control of pests and diseases, production of bio control agents and bio pesticides, production of off-season vegetables, vermi-compost production, marketing and transportation were most emphasized by the respondents in Rangpur district. Respondents defined identification of adulterated fertilizer, insecticide and pesticide application, disease and insects of mango varieties and fruit bagging system of mango as very good type of training. The study concluded that there is an urgent need to design regular training programs in identified thematic areas to fulfill the knowledge gap among the farmers of Bangladesh.Bangladesh J. Agril.

Pengetahuan tentang fungsi dan kelembagaan pemasaran berguna untuk mempertimbang-kan bagaimana pemasaran harus dilakukan, mengevaluasi biaya pemasaran akibat adanya perbedaan perlakuan serta mempertimbangkan sifat dan karakter dari pedagang perantara, hubungan agen dan susunan/perlengkapan organisasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat empat rantai pemasaran ikan segar di Kawasan Maluku Tengah dan fungsi jual, risiko, biaya dan informasi pasar dilakukan oleh semua lembaga yang ada pada setiap saluran pemasaran. Peran pedagang pengumpul dalam menentukan harga ikan di pasar sangat besar. Strategi pedagang untuk menarik pembeli adalah dengan menambah satu atau dua ekor ikan kepada pembeli. Pedagang jarang menurunkan harga jual ikan, namun ketika satu atau dua ekor ikan ditambahkan kepada konsumen, secara tidak sengaja pedagang telah menurunkan harga jual ikan.</span></p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="in" xml:lang="in">Kata kunci:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="in" xml:lang="in"> Maluku Tengah</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">,</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> <span lang="in" xml:lang="in">fungsi dan kelembagaan, pemasaran</span></span>

There is still a different perspective on the fishery aspect of the importance of diversifying the fish farming business in freshwater, causing a low quantity of aquaculture entrepreneurs as well as the diversity of fish cultivation businesses in freshwater. Therefore, a reference basis is needed through a study on the perspective of these stakeholders to determine an appropriate cultivation business strategy to be implemented. The study used interview methods and questionnaires for 40 stakeholder respondents in the field of fisheries and analyzed with Analysis Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results show that land suitability, supportive laws and regulations, market demand, public perception/perspective, and adequate availability of human resources are the main contributing factors in the expansion of the freshwater fish farming business on Sibundong river. The actors expected by the community in the expansion of fish aquaculture business are Bappeda, Freshwater Seed Hall, Marine and Fisheries Affairs and Government of Central Tapanuli, and Matauli College of Fisheries and Marine Science. All of them can be achieved by coordinating between relevant agencies intensively, conducting training/making pilot pools of freshwater cultivation, improving the distribution channels of freshwater aquaculture fisheries, conducting multi-species cultivation, and conducting environmentally-minded cultivation.
