  1. Aquatic Resource Use and Conservation for Sustainable Freshwater Aquaculture andFisheries in Mali AquaFish Collaborative Research Support Program,Oregon State University Partnering with: Direction Nationale de la Pêche, Bamako, Mali Moi University Department of Fisheries &Aquatic Sciences, Eldoret, Kenya Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai, China FishAfrica, Nairobi, Kenya

  2. Mali: • Area ≈ 1.24 million km2 • Pop ≈ 12.6 million • 700,000 fishers • Annual fish production ≈ 100,000 tons • Annual fish consumption ≈ 10.5 kg/person • Demand increasing at > 7% annually

  3. Mali:

  4. Mali: • Wide range in climate, ecological zones • Sahara Desert north • Sahel across the middle • Subtropical areas south • Annual rainfall: • Tombouctou: 202 mm • Bamako: 1018 mm • Temperatures: • Tombouctou: 20-33°C • Bamako: 25-31°C • Seasons • Rains: April-October • Dry season: October-April Mali Tombouctou Bamako

  5. If you visit in the dry season . . .

  6. But water is available . . . Niger River Basin Lake Sélingué

  7. Plenty of water:

  9. Mali Project: Overview • Associate Award from USAID/Mali • October 1, 2007 – September 30, 2010 • South-South approach • Focus on three themes

  10. Mali Project: Themes • Theme I: Pond Culture • Theme II: Rice-Fish Culture • Theme III: Fisheries Planning

  11. Héry Coulibaly, Direction Nationale de la Pêche, Mali • Charles Ngugi, Moi University, Kenya • Yang Yi, Liu LipingShanghai Ocean University, China • Nancy Gitonga,FishAfrica, Kenya Mali Project: Partners

  12. Theme I: Pond Culture • Training • In Mali • In Kenya • Field Trials

  13. Theme II: Rice-Fish • Training & Workshops • In China • In Mali • Field Trials

  14. Theme III: Fisheries Planning • Frame Survey training • Frame Survey • Stakeholders workshops

  15. Accomplishments: Pond Culture • Pond culture training in Mali, February 2-6, 2009 (24 trainees) • Pond culture training in Kenya, April 6-17, 2009 (4 trainees) • Pond culture training in Mali, June 21- July 3, 2009 (22 trainees) • Pre- On-Farm Trials workshops, Mali June 29-30, 2009 (20 trainees) • On-Farm Trials, Mali July 15, 2009 – January 15, 2010 (6 farmers)

  16. Accomplishments: Rice-Fish Culture • Rice-fish training, Shanghai, China, September 16-23, 2008 (Theme II) (2 trainees) • Meeting of interested farmers, Baguineda June XX-YY, 2009 • Rice-Fish Demonstrations set-up, Baguineda June 26, 2009 (21 trainees) • Rice-Fish Demonstrations, BaguinedaJuly 15, 2009 – November 18, 2009

  17. Accomplishments: Fisheries Planning • Frame survey training in Mali, February 9-13, 2009 (31 trainees) • Frame survey on Lake Sélingué, February 14-15, 2009 • Frame Survey Analysis and report, February 9-13, 2009

  18. Key Impacts—Pond Culture : • The Association des Pisciculteurs et Aquaculteurs du Mali (APAM), facilitated by the DNP, undertook significant follow-up work after the first training course, including reviewing what was learned in training and assessing existing ponds and practices vis-à-vis lessons learned • Trainees returning from Pond Culture training in Kenya constructed a catfish hatchery at the Centre de Formation Pratique en Elevage, Bamako • Trainees returning from Kenya assisted in training at next training in Mali • One trainee in particular (SeydouToé) is now improving his ponds, has constructed his own small-scale hatchery at his farm, and is providing training for other groups elsewhere • One Pond Culture trainee is leading the Jigiya (“Hope”) association in pond construction and fish culture activities in Kayo (near Koulikoro) • Trainees returning from Rice-Fish training in China have contributed significantly to organization and oversight of field demonstrations in the Baguineda area

  19. Key Impacts—Pond Culture : Catfish production by SeydouToé, Banco: Fingerlings produced Hatchery setup Production pond Holding/nursing tank

  20. Key Impacts—Pond Culture : Tilapia production by Jigiya Association, Kayo The association’s first pond Record-keeping Sampling day New pond under construction

  21. Key Impacts—Rice-Fish Culture : Rice-Fish production in the Baguineda irrigation area: Traditional fields are modified to accept fish: Water channels for fish passage Excavation of fish sump The fish crop is bigger & better than a wild catch: The result is an extra crop to go along with rice:

  22. Key Impacts—Rice-Fish Culture : Comparison of production with and without fish, Baguineda demonstration fields, 2009: Item Rice Production (kg/ha) Rice income (CFA/ha) Fish production (kg/ha) Fish income (CFA/ha) Total income (CFA/ha) Observations: *Average of demonstration plots Rice Alone rr cfa ff cfa cfa The only product is rice; this can be consumed at home or sold for cash for purchasing other needs Rice-Fish* rr cfa ff cfa cfa There are two products—rice and fish; fish can be consumed or sold for cash for purchasing other needs; rice need not be sold

  23. Key Impacts—Fisheries Planning: • DNP staff trained in techniques and procedures for conducting frame surveys for lakes • First frame survey of Lake Sélingué completed • Survey data analyzed, report and recommendations submitted • Stakeholder workshops set to discuss and plan for community-based management of Lake Sélingué fisheries resources

  24. Summary of Short-Term Training Activities , 2008-2009 • Nine training events held • 124 individuals trained • Most training in Mali, some in China and Kenya • Trainees have included farmers, government technicians, fishers, fish processors • Topics included: • Lake survey techniques (Frame Surveys) • Sound pond construction techniques • Appropriate pond management practices • Propagation of catfish for stocking • Post-harvest fish processing alternatives

  25. Upcoming Activities, 2010: • Stakeholders lake management workshops (2), Lake Sélingué: January • Pond culture workshop, Bamako: January • Pond culture field trials, Mali: January – June • Pond culture training, Kenya: March – April

  26. Mali Project: Potential Future Activities • Assessments: Evaluation of work already done, Needs assessment, Identification of areas with greatest potential (pond culture, rice-fish) • Extend training, field trials, and demonstrations to new areas (pond culture, rice-fish culture) • Add an extension component • Periodic Frame Surveys, Lake Sélingué • Frame Surveys on other lakes (Manantali?) • Medium- and Long-term training? • Facilities development: To enhance fingerling production capacity
