Course Goals3-day introductory training that provides an
overview of risk analysis as applied to the aquaculture sector
Designed for government decision-makers and those who will oversee or conduct risk analyses for aquatic animals
Emphasizes managing risks associated with movements of live aquatic animals (ecological/pest, pathogen and genetic risks)
4
Course GoalsThe course will provide participants with an
understanding of risk analysis: philosophyframeworks approaches methods resourcescurrent issueslimitations
5
Course GoalsAt the end of the course, participants should be
able to: Design and set up a national risk analysis teamAssess commodity descriptionsContribute to decisions on the need for risk
analysesContribute to scoping a risk analysisPlan, oversee and monitor risk analysesCommunicate risk analysis philosophy and issues
to senior politicians and other decision-makersKnow when and where to get help

LimitationsEmphasizes risks to “the commons” rather
than risks to the private sector or individualEcological/pest/invasive speciesPathogensGenetic impactsFood safety/human health
Provides only a brief introduction and overview to risk analysis
Looks only at qualitative risk analysis methods

Limitations
Does not provide participants with the in-depth, specific technical expertise needed to conduct a good risk analysisBiological expertiseSocial expertiseEconomic expertise

Course OverviewConsists of:
A series of 11 lectures that introduce risk analysis and guide participants through the process from start to finish
An associated series of 7 Working Group activities in which the participants will formulate and conduct hypothetical risk analyses
Presentations of WG reports and plenary discussions
9
Course Overview
A key feature of the WG activities will be the use of risk analysis “templates” developed by FAO to assist participants in conducting risk analyses and identifying issues and information and resource needs
Hypothetical risk analyses will involve probable “real life” scenarios (commodities, exporting countries, etc.) for regional countries
