Foreword
Aquaculture has produced an increasingly greater amount of food fish in southeast Asia
and Japan. The SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department (AQD) has made significant contributions in
science and technology for the aquaculture industry. AQD has endeavored to respond to the needs
of the industry through frequent dialogues and assessments with the industry practitioners,
government agencies, and other researchers.
The convening of ADSEA '94, the third Seminar-Workshop on Aquaculture Development
in Southeast Asia, was very timely. It responded to one of the major recommendations of the
1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (or the Earth Summit), which
was to establish integrated coastal zone management to protect coastal ecosystems and achieve
sustainable development of coastal areas. The theme of ADSEA '94, Sustainable Aquaculture
Development, was very appropriate.
By sustainable aquaculture, we mean the appropriate use of coastal resources for
aquaculture with technologies and developments consistent with present and especially future
needs. The Earth Summit emphasized that sustainable development embraces three aspects:
economic development to improve the quality of life of the people, environmentally sound
development that protects resources and ecosystems, and socially and culturally appropriate
development with equitable distribution of benefits among various sectors. These three aspects are
considered in AQD's research programs, which are now directed to the generation of aquaculture
technologies that are economically feasible, environment-friendly, and socially equitable.
ADSEA '94 included reviews of the status of aquaculture development in southeast Asia
and Japan and of the research conducted by the Aquaculture Department to contribute to this
development. Invited scientists then talked on various special topics including responsible
aquaculture, mollusk and seaweed culture, integrated farming, shrimp culture, diseases and health
management, and transgenic fish. The meeting was capped by workshops to determine the present
constraints to aquaculture in the region and to decide the priorities for research and development at
AQD during the next three years.
This proceedings volume documents the presentations at ADSEA '94. As always, the
SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department offers its research, those of others, and the discussions of
these, for use by the scientific community, by the industry, and by government policy makers,
ultimately for the benefit of society.
Many people made valuable contributions to the planning, conduct, and especially to the
discussions and deliberations during ADSEA '94. These efforts and others help ensure that we get
closer to the goal of sustainable aquaculture. It is my hope that this goal stays always in our
minds as we go about our research, business, decision making, and policy making.

SEAFDEC AQD and ADSEA
The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) is a regional treaty
organization established in 1967 with five Member Countries: Japan, Thailand, Malaysia,
Singapore, and the Philippines. SEAFDEC has four Departments: the Marine Fisheries Training
Department in Samut Prakan, Thailand; the Marine Fisheries Research Department in Singapore;
the Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department in Kuala Terengganu,
Malaysia; and the Aquaculture Department in Iloilo, Philippines.
The SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department (AQD) was organized in 1973 with three
mandates:
• Undertake aquaculture research relevant and appropriate for Southeast Asia
• Develop human resources for aquaculture in the region
• Disseminate and exchange aquaculture information
The Seminar-Workshop on Aquaculture Development in Southeast Asia (ADSEA) was
conceived about a decade ago as a means to assess the contribution of SEAFDEC AQD to the
development of the aquaculture industry in the region. ADSEA seminar-workshops were convened
by AQD in 1987, 1991, and 1994. These were attended by invited scientists and representatives of
SEAFDEC Member Countries, the academe, the aquaculture industry, and government agencies.
ADSEA '94 was also attended by representatives from Vietnam and Indonesia. All these meetings
ended with lists of recommendations and priorities for research. The recommendations became the
basis of the three-year research programs of AQD.

ADSEA '94 was funded by the Governments of the Philippines and Japan, the Canadian
International Development Agency through the ASEAN-Canada Fund, and the Japan International
Cooperation Agency. The members of the ADSEA '94 Committees, led by organizers
RM Coloso, LMaB Garcia, AQ Hurtado-Ponce, CR Lavilla-Pitogo, OM Millamena, and
GF Quinitio did a superb job. LAT Espada prepared the lay-out for this volume.
