Aquatic Resource Use and Conservation for Sustainable Freshwater Aquaculture and Fisheries
in Mali
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
Mali:
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 Project: Overview
• Associate Award from USAID/Mali
• October 1, 2007 – September 30, 2010
• South-South approach
• Focus on three themes
Mali Project: Themes
• Theme I: Pond Culture
• Theme II: Rice-Fish Culture
• Theme III: Fisheries Planning
Mali Project: Partners• Héry Coulibaly,
Direction Nationale de la Pêche, Mali

• Nancy Gitonga,FishAfrica, Kenya
Theme I: Pond Culture
• Training
– In Mali
– In Kenya
• Field Trials
Theme II: Rice-Fish
• Training & Workshops
– In China
– In Mali
• Field Trials
Theme III: Fisheries Planning• Frame Survey training
• Frame Survey
• Stakeholders workshops
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)
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, Baguineda July 15, 2009 – November 18, 2009
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
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 (Seydou Toé) 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
Key Impacts—Pond Culture :Catfish production by Seydou Toé, Banco:
Hatchery setup
Holding/nursing tank
Fingerlings produced
Production pond
Key Impacts—Pond Culture :Tilapia production by Jigiya Association, Kayo
The association’s first pond
Sampling day
Record-keeping
New pond under construction
Key Impacts—Rice-Fish Culture :Rice-Fish production in the Baguineda irrigation area:
Traditional fields are modified to accept fish:
Excavation of fish sump
Water channels for fish passage
The result is an extra crop to go along with rice:
The fish crop is bigger & better than a wild catch:
Key Impacts—Rice-Fish Culture :
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
rrcfaff
cfacfa
The only product is rice; this can be consumed at home or sold for cash for purchasing other needs
Rice-Fish*
rrcfaff
cfacfa
There are two products—rice and fish; fish can be consumed or sold for cash for purchasing other needs; rice need not be sold

Baguineda demonstration fields, 2009:
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
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
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
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
