SEAFDEC is an autonomous intergovernmental body established as a regional treaty organization in 1967 to promote fisheries development in Southeast Asia. Objectives SEAFDEC aims specifically to develop fishery potentials in the region through training, research and information services in order to improve food supply through rational utilization of fisheries resources in the region. Functions To achieve its objectives the Center has the following functions : 1) To offer training courses, and to organize workshops and seminars, in fishing technology, marine engineering, extension methodology, post-harvest technology, and aquaculture; 2) To conduct research and development in fishing gear technology, fishing ground surveys, post-harvest technology and aquaculture, to examine problems related to the handling of fish at sea and quality control, and to undertake studies on the fisheries resources in the region; and 3) To arrange for the transfer of technology to the countries in the region and to make available the printed and non-printed media, which include the publication of statistical bulletins for the exchange and dissemination related to fisheries and aquaculture development. Membership SEAFDEC membership is open to all Southeast Asian Countries. The Member Countries of SEAFDEC at present are Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Box 97, Phrasamutchedi, Samut Prakan 10290, Thailand. ISBN 974-9509-64-1 iii FOREWORD There is growing awareness that the coastal fisheries of Southeast Asia are highly significant in terms of the number of people participating in them, the total catch and their economics, social and environment impacts. However, based on current demand for fisheries and our understanding of the status of many fish stocks, many coastal fish species are scarce. Further, resource scarcities will likely continue in the future. Coastal fisheries have some peculiarities which hold regardless whether the fisheries are in developed or developing countries. The major historical peculiarities were due to the common property and free entry nature of most of the world’s fisheries leading to a tendency towards overexploitation of resources, a tendency which was first explained by a biological model of fish population growth. Later, economic variables were introduced to this biological model and the resultant bio-economic model exerted significant influences on fisheries resource management. However, the application of these approaches to fisheries management in Southeast Asia have been confounded by the tropical and multi-species, multi-fishing gear nature of our regional fisheries. It is now well recognized, especially in the context of Southeast Asia’s complex coastal fisheries, that in order to be successful coastal fisheries management needs to become more innovative and specific to fisheries issues at the local level. This is especially the case as the contribution of coastal fisheries to regional food security and employment has become increasingly apparent in recent years. The need to reconcile regional fisheries issues with emerging frameworks for the management of coastal fisheries certainly requires the development of innovative and practical approaches to fisheries management, such as resource enhancement through the use of artificial reefs and restocking. It has been with this mindset that the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center has developed an ongoing project aimed at developing regional capacity to design and implement resource enhancement activities for the long-term sustainability of our fisheries resources. A multitude of resource enhancement activities can be used in fisheries resource management. However, in most parts of our diverse region, resource enhancement is in its infancy and understudied (as compared to other approaches to fisheries resource management). Acknowledging the various advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to resource enhancement is critical if it is to be effectively applied in Southeast Asia. This compilation of papers provides a clear and comprehensive overview of the state of resource enhancement in Southeast Asia. I take great pleasure in congratulating the presenters for their erudite papers and excellent contributions to this valuable part of fisheries resource management in our region.

It’s history dating back to the Sultanate of Brunei to the rule of the White Rajah & up to the current Malaysian regime, vestiges of the old world may still be seen in not only the daily lives of its people but also in every nook & cranny throughout the land. It’s capital, the city of Kuching, is the perfect mélange of the old and new with its Colonial architecture of an era long past and the modernity of a new generation. From the old court house from the time of the White Rajahs and the British to the famed Fort Margherita that still stands overlooking the Kuching waterfront – its history still resonates & gives the city it’s nostalgic yet quaint feel wherever you look. With its serene & exciting night life to complement its relatively hectic work pace in the day, Kuching is a great place to unwind & relax in if you’re looking for a getaway.
