Annex 3 – Expert profiles

FUNGE-SMITH, Simon – Mr Funge-Smith qualified as a Marine biologist form the University of Liverpool (United Kingdom) and completed his Doctorate at the Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling (Scotland, United Kingdom) in the area of tropical aquaculture. His postdoctoral work (1991–1994) was based heavily in the field in Thailand working on environmental and management aspects of brackishwater shrimp aquaculture. He worked for two years (1995–1997) as a consultant based in Asia working in China, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Philippines and Thailand. Several of the assignments were for FAO. In 1997, he joined FAO as a Chief technical advisor to an aquaculture development project in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic working in rural extension of aquaculture. Following the closure of the project, he briefly worked with the Mekong River Commission as a consultant before taking up his current post as Aquaculture Officer into the FAO Regional Office in Bangkok. His responsibilities span 40 Member countries in the Asia-Pacific Region and he has travelled, for work reasons, in over 22 of these. His work covers project development management as well as the work of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission. Some key areas of work that he has been involved in are the use of low value and trash fish for aquaculture, co-management mechanisms, inland fisheries management, aquaculture certification, and routine analysis of the aquaculture and fisheries of the Asia-Pacific Region.
GRIFFITHS, Don – Mr Don Griffiths has over 20 years of experience in fresh, brackish and marine aquaculture development and extension primarily in Asia (Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Thailand, Viet Nam), but also Fiji, Lesotho and Mozambique, working for a variety of donor agencies including Overseas Development Agency (ODA), United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID), Danida, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the European Union (EU) and Mekong River Commission. Mr Griffiths is currently working as the Senior Advisor for the Government of Viet Nam–Danida funded Sustainable Development of Aquaculture (SUDA) component under the Fisheries Sector Programme Support Phase II (FSPS II). The FSPS II will run to the end of 2010.
HERMANSEN, Oystein – Mr Hermansen presently conducts applied research on the economics of capture-based aquaculture operations in Norway, particularly on the Atlantic cod. This involves research on the private and full cost profitability and also factors which hinder fishermen in undertaking this activity. In addition, he collaborates on projects to investigate the bioeconomics of various capture-based aquaculture fisheries, intending to identify properties that define the profitability of this aquaculture practice. He has also worked on capacity issues in fisheries and was the secretary for a National Advisory Panel for Capacity Reduction in Norwegian Fisheries. Mr Hermansen has an MSc degree in Fisheries and Aquaculture from the Norwegian College of Fisheries Science, University of Tromso, Norway obtained in 2002.
HOLTHUS, Paul – Dr Holthus’s work is focused on achieving sustainable development of marine and coastal areas and the sustainable use of marine resource and sustainable livelihoods, with an emphasis on bringing together the private sector and the environmental concerns to realize solutions. His experience ranges from working with the directors of United Nations (UN) agencies on international ocean policy to working with fishermen in small island villages. He has been involved in coastal management and marine resource conservation and sustainable use in over 30 countries in Asia, the Pacific, Central America, and West Africa. From 1998–2007, Paul was the founding Executive Director of the Marine Aquarium Council (MAC). MAC is an international standards-setting, certification and capacity-building organization for sustainability of the global marine aquarium fishery and trade, including aquaculture. MAC has built a global multi-stakeholder network of the marine aquarium industry/ fishers, conservation groups, public aquariums, international organizations and government agencies; developed international standards of best practice for certification of the communities, companies, culturing facilities and chain of custody in the marine ornamentals industry; and created industry and consumer demand for MAC Certified marine ornamentals. Past senior positions have included: Deputy Director, Global Marine and Coastal Programme, The World Conservation Union (IUCN); Senior Programme Officer, Asia-Pacific Marine Programme, The Nature Conservancy; and Senior Programme Officer, South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP, part of the UN Environment Programme’s Regional Seas Organizations), as well as international projects as an independent consultant. He is a graduate of the University of California and the University of Hawai’i.
KWANG SIK, Choi – Dr Kwang Sik has been working since 1995 as a professor at the School of Applied Marine Science, Cheju National University. Apart from his teaching obligations in aquaculture Dr Kwang Sik’s main area of interest is bivalves. His applied research work focuses on shellfish disease diagnosis, culture and ecology. Prior to joining the University, he worked for a few years as Senior Researcher at the Korean Institute of Nuclear Safety during which time he was involved in inspecting environmental safety of thermal effluents from nuclear power plants. Dr Kwang Sik obtained his both his MSc (1987) and his PhD (1992) in Oceanography at the Texas A&M University, United States of America.
LOVATELLI, Alessandro – Mr Lovatelli, a trained marine biologist and aquaculturist, obtained his Bachelor (BSc) and Master of Science (MSc) degrees at the universities of Southampton and Plymouth (UK), respectively. His first experience with FAO dates back to 1987 working as the bivalve expert attached to an FAO/United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) regional project. His subsequent FAO assignment was in Mexico working on a regional aquaculture development project (AQUILA) funded by the Italian Government. From 1993 to 1997 he worked in Viet Nam, Somalia and then again in Southeast Asia. In Viet Nam he headed the aquaculture and fisheries component of a large European Union project developing, among other activities, 10 regional aquaculture demonstration, training and extension centres. In Somalia he acted as the lead aquaculture and fisheries consultant for the European Commission. Following an additional year in Viet Nam as one of the Team Leaders under the Danish-funded Fisheries Master Plan Project, Mr Lovatelli was recruited by FAO as the Aquaculture Advisor attached to the FAO-EASTFISH project based in Denmark. In 2001 Mr Lovatelli once again joined the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department. The main activities currently focused on are marine aquaculture development, transfer of farming technologies and resources management. Mr Lovatelli has coordinated and co-authored an FAO review on capture-based aquaculture (CBA) published by FAO in 2004.
MIDLING, Kjell – Mr Midling is a specialist in capture-based aquaculture and has worked for the Norwegian Institute of Fisheries and Aquaculture Research since 1988. Fish behaviour, fish communication (sound) and fish preferences have played a major part of his research, dealing both with technological developments and studying their behaviour per se. He is an inventor on patents involving cage constructions (flat-bottom cages for species without a gas-bladder) and feeding system (submerged “intelligent” feeding). He has been involved in a large number of projects nationally and abroad both within aquaculture and fisheries varying from fishing gear, live transportation, cages for restitution, slaughter technologies, fish welfare and quality. He was scientist in charge of the first offshore farm in Hainan, People’s Republic of China (1997–99) and has hands-on experiences in commercial fisheries and aquaculture. He has been a member of several scientific commissions, including 12 years in the Norwegian Research Council.
