| | Globally, freshwater fisheries are the most heavily exploited aquatic resources, producing about a quarter of the world’s food fish (some 20 million tonnes per year) from less than 0.01% of the world’s water resources. However, over exploitation is only one of many threats to inland aquatic resources: water resources development for agriculture and other habitat modifications, invasive species and pollution are serious threats and make freshwater biota the most threatened components of global biodiversity. The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries provides general guidance, in the form of suggestions or observations intended to assist those interested in identifying their own criteria and options for actions, as well as partners for collaboration, in support of sustainable freshwater fisheries.

| | Description | A research institution, which carries out research, investigations and provides advice concerning sustainable exploitation of live marine and freshwater resources. Danish Institute for Fisheries Research (DIFRES) is a research institution which carries out research, investigations and provides advice concerning sustainable exploitation of live marine and fresh water resources. DIFRES deals with chain considerations from water to table. This includes interaction between the water environment and productivity and variation of the fish stocks, methods for assessment of the sizes of fish stocks, development of methods for sustainable fisheries management, and stock enhancement. Moreover, processing and improvement of fish products as well as quality assurance in the fish industry are important parts of the research areas of the institution. DIFRES acts as counsellor to the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, other authorities, international commissions, the fishing industry and fishery organisations. | | Keywords | MARINE RESOURCES; FRESHWATER RESOURCES; FISH STOCKS; FISH PROCESSING | | Geography Keywords | DENMARK | | Content Language(s) | Danish; Arabic; English | | File Location | | |
