dc.description.abstract | Aquaculture achieved a significant milestone in 2022, surpassing capture fisheries production as the leading aquatic producer. Its global production reached 130.9 million t, with 94.4 million t comprising aquatic animals, marking a 4.4 % surge from 2020 (FAO, 2024). This milestone, coupled with the decline of capture fishery production due to overexploitation and overfishing, underscores the need to explore and develop aquaculture techniques for new aquatic species. Once established, these techniques will be promoted and hopefully create a new local aquaculture industry in Southeast Asia. Recognizing the unparalleled success and expertise of the Aquaculture Department of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC/AQD) in the development of aquaculture technologies, especially in the broodstock management, spawning, larval rearing, nursery and grow-out culture, fish nutrition, and fish health management, this study, with funding support from the Japanese Trust Fund (JTF), aims to develop aquaculture techniques for new aquatic species, namely: slipper lobster (Thenus orientalis), kawakawa (Euthynnus affinis), and shortfin scad (Decapterus macrosoma). Furthermore, this study was conducted to generate basic information on reproductive biology, breeding, farming techniques, feeding habits, fish health, and other relevant data for developing aquaculture techniques of the three species through the collection from identified sites, transport, stocking, and management of broodstock, larval rearing, feeding, and health management experiments. | en |
