Cambodia is rich in both freshwater and marine fisheries resources. Aquaculture in Cambodia has been practiced in the Great Lake (Ton Le Sap) for a long time . The culture method involves stocking of wild juvenile fish in pens or cages and feeding with trash fish. In 1994, a new aquaculture technology was introduced in the country through the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) outreach programme. Aquaculture development in Cambodia is part of a national policy under the National Rectangular Strategy Policies of the Government. To support the national policy, the Fisheries Administration has introduced the updated Strategic Planning Framework for Fisheries (SPFF) for 2015. Meanwhile, the National Strategic Plan for Aquaculture Development in Cambodia (NSPAD) 2016-2030 aims to meet the growing demand for fish for domestic consumption, and future investment requirements in aquaculture development. The main aquaculture production produced from inland aquaculture accounts for nearly 90% of the total fish production. Aquaculture systems including floating cage/pen culture, earthen pond culture and integrated rice-fish culture, and other fish culture in small scale or aquaculture-based fisheries in Cambodia are practiced in over 20 provinces and cities, with less development on coastal aquaculture Annual aquaculture production increased by an average of 20 % over the past decade, from 50,000 metric tons in 2009 to 254,048 metric tons in 2018. Enhancing rice field fisheries productivity continues to be a priority in the Fisheries SPF, especially through Community Fish Refuges (CFRs). Rice field fisheries provides 100,000–150,000 tons per year which contributed 20–30 % of the total inland fish production. However, knowledge about the current status of the sector is lacking. Anecdotal field observations and the few existing studies depict a sector with unsophisticated technology, low efficiency and low competitiveness against imports from neighboring countries. Limited availability of quality inputs and services is a major constraint to the growth of the aquaculture sector. Fingerling production, in particular, is insufficient and the poor quality of fingerlings produced results in very low levels of production to support the industry leading to the importation of fingerlings from neighboring countries. 2021-12-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10862/6251 Sustainable aquaculture development in Indonesia Wardhana, Rizna A.; Yuniarsih, Erna; Adhitya, Irham Aya, Frolan A.; de la Peña, Leobert D.; Salayo, Nerissa D.; Tendencia, Eleonor Despite the abundance of potential marine resources, including fisheries, Indonesia is still struggling with several issues, particularly in the aquaculture sector. Environmental issues, aquaculture feeds, fish diseases, and exceeding carrying capacity are some of the many challenges that Indonesia must face these days. The Indonesian government through the Directorate General of Aquaculture (DGA), Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), however, has undertaken efforts to overcome the challenges and at the same time ensuring the sustainability of the sector. Sovereign, competitive, and sustainable aquaculture development policies have been implemented through three main aspects of development: 1) production technology, 2) socioeconomics, and 3) natural resources. Harmonizing and simplifying regulations to encourage investments, interconnecting business chain from downstream to upstream in the industry and strengthening product competitiveness through IndoGAP (Good Aquaculture Practices) implementation are among the steps taken by the government. However, among the efforts to overcome the existing challenges and gaps, Indonesia continues to strive to develop its potential to make Indonesian fish farmers more prosperous and independent in the best possible way. 2021-12-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10862/6265 Status of aquatic animal health in Indonesia Evan, Yan; Putri, Niezha Eka Aya, Frolan A.; de la Peña, Leobert D.; Salayo, Nerissa D.; Tendencia, Eleonor A. Fish disease is one of the main obstacles in the success of aquaculture production because of the loss caused by it. The outbreak of diseases has resulted to a substantial economic loss which was reported to have reached almost USD 400 million. To minimize the impact of losses caused by fish diseases, the Indonesian government through the Directorate General of Aquaculture, Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries has a fish disease monitoring and surveillance program. The program aims to monitor the occurrence of fish diseases in Indonesia, especially in the fish and shrimp farming centers and to educate on how to control them. In 2018, the monitoring and surveillance program have 34 provinces with 100 districts/cities location targets targeting fish and shrimp diseases. Based on the results of the monitoring and surveillance activities in 2018, the fish and shrimp are affected by the following diseases: White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV), Infectious Hypodermal and Haemotopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHHNV), Infectious Myonecrosis Virus (IMNV), Iridovirus, Aeromonas hydrophila, Streptococcus iniae, Streptococcus agalactiae, Edwardsiella ictaluri and Ichthyophthiriasis. The program to control fish diseases in order to minimize the losses has also been carried out by the government including trainings on the application of biosecurity, the use of vaccines, probiotics, immunostimulants and herbal medicines. 2021-12-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10862/6253 Promotion of sustainable aquaculture in Malaysia Jumatli, Azimah; Ismail, Mohamad Saupi Aya, Frolan A.; de la Peña, Leobert D.; Salayo, Nerissa D.; Tendencia, Eleonor A. Aquaculture has been identified as a priority sector in the development of Malaysia’s economy. It receives a wide participation as a result of the progressive development in most parts of the country. From producing only about 7% of the national fish production in 1992, aquaculture has produced almost 13% to that of capture production in 2003, and expected to produce equal volume to the latter in the future. The aquaculture production leaped from less than 80,000 metric tonnes in 1992 to more than 427,000 metric tons in 2017 valued at MYR3 billion. Demand is expected to continue to grow with anticipated population growth. Aquaculture provides employment, business and investment opportunities in this country. As of 2017, there are over 18,000 aquafarmers in Malaysia, with a total farm size of more than 34,000 ha. Two key factors i.e. the physical and financial factors, have boosted the competitiveness of Malaysia’s aquaculture industry. The National Key Economics Area (NKEA) has become a mechanism to allow big players to lead private sectors participate in this industry. This paper intends to explicate Malaysia’s aquaculture potentials with a view to provide insight prospects for aquaculture growth. 2021-12-01T00:00:00Z
