Report of the Second Round Table Discussion on the Development of Genetically Improved Strain of Macrobrachium : a collaborative research under the Aquaculture Component of the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Special Five-Year Program on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security in the ASEAN Region, Dagupan City and Science City of Muñoz, Philippines 16-21 September 2004.
The Second Round Table Discussion on the Development of Genetically Improved Strain of Macrobrachium was held in the Philippines in September 2004 to evaluate the progress of activities of the collaborative research and as a follow-up to the First Round Table Discussion, which was convened in Indonesia in 2003. During the said Round Table Discussion, delineation of responsibilities was agreed upon by the participating countries – Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand. One of the recommendations during the First Round Table Discussion was to conduct a yearly evaluation of the project activities to enable the experts to get to know of each other’s activities and come up with a consistent and improved technology on production of good quality freshwater prawn seeds that can be made available for rural aquaculture in the region.This publication contains the progress of the collaborative research presented during the Second Round Table Discussion.
