Promotion of Sustainable Aquaculture, Aquatic Animal Health, and Resource Enhancement in Southeast Asia (SARSEA)

 
 

Proceedings of the International Workshop on the Promotion of Sustainable Aquaculture, Aquatic Animal Health, and Resource Enhancement in Southeast Asia 25–27 June 2019, Iloilo City, Philippines

In order to promote and augment regional initiatives on sustainable aquaculture, aquatic animal health and resource enhancement, and to consequently contribute to poverty alleviation, livelihood and food security, the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center/Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) has held a 3-day workshop on the “Promotion of Sustainable Aquaculture, Aquatic Animal Health and Resource Enhancement in Southeast Asia (SARSEA)” on 25–27 June 2019 in Iloilo City, Philippines.

The workshop discussed the issues related to sustainable aquaculture, aquatic animal health and resource enhancement, through “Country reports,” from SEAFDEC member countries, “AQD GOJ-TF6 Research Reports,” which were being carried out under the Government of Japan Trust Fund 6 from 2015 to 2019, and were presented by the AQD researchers, “Special Presentations” from the Invited Resource Speakers,” and “Workshop Discussion” for identification of research gaps and collaborative activities among member countries.

This publication is a product of the workshop and compiles information from the thirty presentations made during the event. Reports from member countries, invited experts, and SEAFDEC/AQD projects supported by the GOJ-TF on the topics of sustainable aquaculture, resource enhancement, and aquatic animal health are bared in these pages. The workshop summary, synthesizing the key points raised during the workshop, should be a valuable reference on the broad challenges we face, as well as the solutions and actions that must be done.
