Fish Group
Keiichi Matsuura Na2onal Museum of Nature and Science
What We Learned from CMS Four groups made great successes in each field in terms of research and capacity building
Scien3sts from par3cipant countries published many ar3cles and field guides
Workshops and training courses organized for young scien3sts and students
However… No cross cu?ng researches done
Communica3ons limited within each group, not among different groups
Budgets for field works 3ghtly limited
Interna3onal Workshops & Training Fish Group
• 2003: Langkawi Malaysia,
• 2004:Phuket, Thailand • 2005:Nga Trang, Vietnam • 2006:Bintang Island, Indonesia • 2007:Port Dickson Malaysia • 2008:Panay Islands, Univ. of Visayas Phillipines • 2009:Songkhla, Thailand • 2010:Ryukyu, Okinawa
Student involvement in JSPS fish workshop
Port Dickson, MALAYSIA:- 2007
Songkhla,THAILAND:- 2009
Collaborating with experts from JSPS team towards better capacity building within ASEAN countries
ACHIEVEMENTS in Malaysia through JSPS Collabora2on:
Greater awareness on importance of ichthyological research including fish taxonomy by university managers
BeLer techniques and management of fish collec2on specimens – knowledge acquired through series of workshops and direct communica2ons
Increase in Malaysian species checklists and wider study areas/sampling – as a result of more intensified funding & research
Some new junior ichthyologists joining the research area – e.g. UMT has fish museum & curator, UMS recrui2ng young lecturers working as ichthyologist (e.g. Dr Seah Ying Giat, Dr Amiruddin Ahmad, Mr Yusri Yusof and Mrs Si2 Tanzil Mariam)
Easier to source for research grants from university on fish study – par2cularly on interna2onal collabora2ve projects (good for ranking of university)
What the Fish Group members have done in the beginning stage (FY 2011)
Discussions for ACORE projects in several participants A few field trips A field guide for fishes of Malaysia published
Challenges for the participants Fund raising strongly needed How to mobilize research incentives among participants Set a clear goal How to make the cross cutting subject with other groups

2010: Joint Field Survey in the Terengganu Coastal Water, Peninsular Malaysia
Prof Dr Hirouki Motomura Mr Mizuki Matsunoma UMT Research Staff Publication of a new Fish Book: Fishes of Terengganu: east coastal water of Peninsular Malaysia
Research work in Philippines in 2011
• Comparison of seagrass-associated juvenile fish assemblages in 3 sites in central Philippines (UPV)
• Transient fish assemblages in mangrove habitats in southern Guimaras, Central Philippines (UPV)
• Species composition of fry fisheries in sardine-dominated fishing grounds (UPV, CI Phils & BFAR)
• Investigations on the Siganus fuscescens/ canaliculatus complex (UPV, BUTC, UPDil, MSU Naawan)
– Differences in abundance & diversity • Contribu3on of fish to total biomass
– Dominated by Tetraodon2dae and Apogonidae • Arothron manilensis (Concepcion) vs Canthigaster compressa • Fowleria variegata (Palompon) vs Apogon margaritophorus

WHAT NEXT in Malaysia?: Future Plans on Ichthyology Works between Asean Core Group-JSPS with in Next 5 years
Acquisition of domestic research grant by each of members in the country e.g. Matching Grant!! Does it work?
Capacity Building: More young Scientists to come a board
To publish books on marine fishes of Malaysia (further updates on Malaysian marine fish species) – (from Merambong Seagrass species
To establish proper specimen collection in university (National level ???)
To enhance greater collaboration amongst Malaysian ichthyologists in universities – joint research and student exchange (under international mobility programme)
UPM & UKM research universities – better funding for research with international institutions - To continue collaboration with JSPS working members
What have been done in the year of 2011 in Vietnam Assessment of the croaker fishes
distribute along the coastal area of North Vietnam as the contribution for the IUCN Red List assessment after the Manaus workshop.
Presentation of 4 papers at the National Symposium on Marine Science and Technology, October 2011 that deal with the aspects of reef fisheries and dynamic of reef fish communities after establishment of the marine protected areas network.
Keep going on to review of the natural distribution of coastal fishes in North Vietnam

Proposition for the next phase of collaboration 2011 - 2015 Grouping of Fish Research team in Vietnam, period 2001 - 2010

Location and scope of research activities
Locations of this study extend along the coastal areas of Vietnam and focusing on the key ecosystems such as coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangrove forest.
However some priority sites will be the mangrove, estuary and lagoon area. For example:
Coral reef sites: Halong – Cat Ba, Nha Trang, Hai Van – Son Cha
Mangrove site: Hai Phong, Nam Dinh
Lagoon, seagrass: Tam Giang – Cau Hai
Main subprojects will be applied in the following years
1. Diversity of the coastal fishes in Vietnam – lead by Dr. Nguyen Van Quan.
2. Sampling of marine fish specimens along the coastal area of Vietnam and provide the consultant for management of fish collection in National Nature Science Museum – lead by Dr. Nguyen Van Quan, Lai Duy Phuong
3. Genetic data base for the species complex such as croaker to determine the distribution and evaluate the endangered level according to the IUCN criteria - lead by Mr. Nguyen Duc The
4. Evaluation of the fish collection in the institution museums and provide the revision checklist of fish in Vietnam sea – lead by Le Thu Thao and Nguyen Hoai Nam
5. Joint publication of a book of marine fishes of Vietnam???

4 times in each year for 5 years
What We Need before We Make Progresses
Clear goal for every project group Seagrass bed would be a good site for every group Coral reefs are too complex in the structure and species composition to be studied Cross cutting approaches to be taken
Keep communications among all the participants
Fund raising by participants from all member countries
Research permits from authorities
