Capacity Building at the Regional Level:
Work of SEAFDEC in Southeast Asia
Chumnarn Pongsri, Ph.D.Secretary-General, SEAFDEC
Global Conference on Aquatic Animal Health ProgrammesPanama City, 30 June 2011
Introduction (1)Importance of Fisheries/Aquaculture in the Southeast Asian Region Food Security Poverty Alleviation Job Opportunity National Economy
Introduction (2)Nature of Fisheries in Southeast Asia Tropical, multi-species, multi-gear Seasonal variation, particularly inland
fisheries Mostly by small-scale fishers/farmers Large portions for subsistence and
household consumption, and not record in production statistics

Introduction (6)
Trends/Issues in Fisheries/Aquaculture
Declining capture fishery production due to over-exploitation of resources and habitat degradation
Growing concerns on responsible fishing practices to sustain the utilization of resources (UN Fish Stock Agreement, CCRF)
Growing demand of fish (esp. for food security)
Intensification of aquaculture system to increase the contribution from aquaculture to total fishery production
Aquaculture issues/challenges in Southeast Asia (1)
Increased use of feeds including low-value fish for aquaculture
Organic discharge to the environment
Impact from aquaculture on species/genetic diversity
Occurrence/wide-spread of aquatic animal diseases
Increasing use of chemicals and drugs
Emerging requirements for better quality/safety of products, environmental integrity, aquatic animal health and welfare, etc. (increasing certification scheme/requirements, dev. Of FAO Technical Guidelines on Aquaculture Certification)
Impacts and mitigation of impacts from climate change to aquaculture
Consequences from ASEAN Community Building (targeted by 2015)
Aquaculture issues/challenges in Southeast Asia (2)
Difficulty for small-scale aquaculture in the region to accommodate the emerging situations and requirements
Requirement for capacity building activities, specifically to build capabilities at the farm level to enable fish farmers in undertaking practices that are conform with emerging requirements, including those on aquatic animal health and welfare
Aquaculture issues/challenges in Southeast Asia (3)
1) Enhancing capacity of fisheries and aquaculture-related authorities on aspects relevant to animal health and welfare, and food safety of aquaculture products with emphasis on promoting appropriate management and improving the aquaculture environment
2) Development of tool kits that are relevant and applicable for small-scale farmers to enhance their capacity to respond to emerging requirements
Priority areas for capacity building activities relevant to aquatic animal
health and welfare (1)
3) Strengthening the capacity of veterinary-related authorities on aquatic animal health and welfare as well as collaboration with fisheries and aquaculture-related agencies on relevant issues
4) Fostering collaboration among countries, organizations, etc. for exchanging information, mobilizing expertise, and enhancing national capacities to satisfy animal health and welfare and food safety requirements of aquaculture products
Priority areas for capacity building activities relevant to aquatic animal
health and welfare (2)
Programs relevant to Fish Disease and Capacity Building (AQD) Development of Fish Disease Inspection
Methodologies for Artificially-bred Seeds (2000-2005)
Establishment of Disease Surveillance System of Aquatic Animals (2005-2009)
Human Capacity Building for Sustainable Aquaculture (2005-2009)
Accelerating Awareness and Capacity-Building in Fish Health management in Southeast Asia (2010-2014)
Relevant capacity building activities undertaken by SEAFDEC (1)
Programs relevant to chemical and drug residues in aquaculture products (MFRD) Chloramphenicol and Nitrofuran Residues in
Aquaculture Fish and Fish Products (2004-2005)
Chemical and Drug Residues in Fish and Fish Products in Southeast Asia (2004-2008) – for Choramphenicol, Nitrofuran, Malachite Green & Leuco-malachite Green
Relevant capacity building activities undertaken by SEAFDEC (2)
Relevant capacity building activities undertaken by SEAFDEC (3)
