Preface ‘Key Researchable Issues in Sustainable Coastal Shrimp Aquaculture in Thailand’ was a project, which originated in 1994 through a proposal to the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) by Professor Ian White and Dr Ban- chong Tiensongrusmee. Because of their enthusiasm and energy, the proposal became a reality. Substantial credit for the final outcome is due to their initial work, even though unfortunately neither leader was able to continue with the project. The original aim of the project (ACIAR project number FIS/1993/843) was to examine all issues relevant to the sustainability of modern shrimp aquaculture in Thailand. As the project developed, the geographical scope was broadened to include the Asia–Pacific region. As part of this development, a workshop was held in Hat Yai, Songkhla in 1996 and the proceedings of this meeting are published in an accompanying volume (Smith, P.T. ed. 1999. Towards sustainable shrimp culture in Thailand and the region. ACIAR Proceedings No. 90). By the time of its completion in 1999, the project and its team members had wit- nessed an interesting and critical period in the shrimp farming industry, both in Thai- land and the Asia–Pacific region. The industry in Thailand, for example, reached a peak level of production in 1994–5, and subsequently declined as a result of out- breaks of shrimp viral disease; in response new approaches to management were developed which are now leading to improvements in production. At the same time there have been other major influences, such as the financial crisis in 1997, changes in the international trading situation and an increasingly global emphasis on sustaina- bility issues in shrimp aquaculture. The first part of this technical report describes the modern shrimp farming indus- try in Thailand. This sets the scene for the second part: a statistical analysis of a com- prehensive survey of shrimp farms in Thailand. Finally, the results of a survey of the Hat Yai workshop participants, based on the major research issues identified during the workshop, are presented and analysed. This process and analysis has resulted in the identification and prioritisation of key issues for research in the development of sustainable shrimp aquaculture in Thailand, and elsewhere in the region. The members of the project are appreciative of the enormous assistance provided by colleagues in universities, research institutions and the shrimp farming industry. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the funding provided by ACIAR, and the support of the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia–Pacific (NACA), the Department of Fisher- ies of Thailand, and Kasetsart University in Bangkok. The support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in providing financial support to the shrimp farm survey is also gratefully acknowledged. This publication is the fruit of the goodwill and combined efforts of all members of the project. Paul T. Smith Project Leader University of Western Sydney Macarthur $ !

Executive Summary Paul T. Smith*, Hassanai Kongkeo†, Siri Tookwinas§ and Michael J. Phillips† Introduction This report describes the results of a study that was carried out from 1994 to 1999 into the researchable issues in sustainable coastal shrimp aquaculture in Thailand. This was a period in which the shrimp farming industry in Thailand became the world’s leading producer of farmed shrimp but also had to confront new shrimp dis- eases, trade issues and environmental concerns. In many respects, the shrimp farming industry in Thailand has reached a crossroads—the first ten years of the modern industry were characterised by rapid growth, while the last five years have been char- acterised by stability and even some decline in total production. Peak production occurred in 1994 with 264,000 t, but annual production subsequently declined to an estimated 210,000–234,000 t in 1998, worth US$1,472 million in exports. Recent events suggest that the future for shrimp farming in Thailand, and the region, will depend on the industry’s ability to focus on the development of sustainable practices. The aim of this study was to provide industry, researchers and government depart- ments with a contemporary view of the key researchable issues in developing sus- tainable coastal shrimp culture, based largely on Thailand’s experience. The Objectives The project commenced in November 1994 with a Workshop in Bangkok that defined the aims and objectives of the study. The scope of the study was broadened during the course of the project to provide a regional perspective and investigate opportunities for linkages within the region. The objectives of the project were as follows. • To explore relationships between shrimp production and environmental factors for the sustainable utilisation of land and water resources for coastal shrimp aqua- culture. • To use the outputs of objective 1 to identify key researchable issues in sustainable coastal shrimp aquaculture in Thailand and the region. • To define, in consultation with regional research partners, the scope of a collabo- rative research project that could address the priority research issues in sustaina- ble coastal shrimp aquaculture identified by the study, and prepare a research proposal to the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) for possible funding. * University of Western Sydney

    Leadership of a Rice Farmer’s Group in the Salt Intrusion Area, Takhria Sub-District, Ranot District, Songkhla Province Wilaiporn Sengwun1* and Pilaiwan Prapruit1 1Department of Agricultural Development, Faculty of Natural Resources, Prince of Songkla University, Thailand *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The objectives of this research were to 1) analyze the leadership characteristics and behaviors of the leaders of a rice farming groups in the salt intrusion area, and 2) analyze the relationship between leadership characteristics and behaviors of the leaders. The data collection tool used in this research was a structured questionnaire. Its purpose was to allow members of rice farming group and local citizens who were aware of the work of the group leader to evaluate the leader in terms of leadership characteristics and behaviors. Questionnaires were analyzed, with responses arranged into 5 levels according to Likert scale, and behaviors were analyzed according to Blake and Mouton’s Managerial Grid. Results found that, 1) overall leadership characteristics were at a high level ( = 4.13) with the average highest leadership characteristics being the ability to perform tasks ( = 4.30). Physical characteristics came next ( = 4.24), followed풙� by personality characteristics ( = 4.17). An examination of the characteristics showed that풙� the rice farming group leaders possess good풙� human relations skills, with strong effort and풙� patience at the highest level ( = 4.50), and 2) analysis of leader behaviors found that the leaders of the rice farming groups had an average task-oriented behavior score of 5.93, and풙� an averaged relationship- oriented behavior score of 7.47. When comparing these scores with the Blake and Mouton’s Managerial Grid, leaders of rice farming groups have behaviors that emphasized teamwork (6,8).

  • Smoking Behaviour and Associated Factors of Illicit Cigarette Consumption in a Border Province of Southern Thailand
    Smoking Behaviour and Associated Factors of Illicit Cigarette Consumption in a Border Province of Southern Thailand Chittawet Ketchoo A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Epidemiology Prince of Songkla University 2011 Copyright of Prince of Songkla University i ii iii iv Thesis Title Smoking Behaviour and associated factors of illicit cigarette consumption in a border province of southern Thailand Author Mr.Chittawet Ketchoo Major Programme Epidemiology Academic year 2010-2011 ____________________________________________________________ Abstract Background: Consumption of illicit cigarettes poses a serious threat to public health as well as being a source of huge losses in government revenues. It brings tobacco onto the market cheaply, making cigarettes more affordable and thus stimulating consumption, especially among the youth group, consequently increasing the burden of ill-health. Illicit cigarette sabotages national tobacco taxation and tobacco control strategies and has become a major concern for governments and international organizations. Therefore, it is important to understand this problem thoroughly in order to reduce it. The high magnitude of illicit cigarette trade in southern Thailand offers an opportunity to examine the situation of illicit cigarette consumption. Objectives: To investigate behaviours and factors associated with illicit cigarette consumption in southern Thailand. Methodology: A survey and qualitative study were conducted in a border province in southern Thailand next to Malaysia. A modified snowballing technique was used to recruit 300 illicit and 150 non-illicit cigarette smokers. A structured questionnaire v was used to interview subjects. Smoking behaviours and associated factors with illicit cigarette consumption were analysed by complex survey regression adjusted for a cluster of samples identified by each recruiter.

In the past few decades, rapid population growth in Thailand has resulted in excess utilization of natural resources and degradation of environmental quality. Deforestation in sloping areas for agricultural and residential purposes has resulted in soil erosion from deforested areas with subsequent sediment transport and deposition in receiving water bodies. In order to evaluate the severity of this problem, a mathematical model is developed to simulate sediment transport phenomena in a receiving water body. In model development, total sediment transport is classified as bedload transport and suspended load transport, which result in two interrelated transport models. Three-dimensional mass balance equation is used as a basic governing equation for the suspended load transport model, whereas two-dimensional mass balance equation is used as a basic governing equation for the bedload transport model.

Accepted 18 November, 2011 This study aimed to survey medicinal plants in mangrove and beach forests from Sating Phra Peninsula, Songkhla Province. Three representative districts including Sing Ha Nakhon, Sating Phra and Ranode were selected. Semi-structured interview was conducted to six local healers for asking about local names, parts of use, preparation and properties. Plant specimens also were collected. Identification was done and the specimens were deposited at The Prince of Songkla University herbarium (PSU). A total of 110 species belonging to 100 genera and 51 families was found. Among them, 69 species were only found in the beach forests, 35 species were only found in the mangrove forests and 6 species could be found in both areas. Fabaceae was the most important family in term of species used. Herb was the most frequently used habit of plants. Most plant species were used for curing fever (18.52%), skin diseases (10.65%) and gastrointestinal tract problems (10.19%), respectively. Interestingly, 34 species relate to pharmacological activities, while 13 species have never been investigated. Therefore, their biological activity should be investigated to support utilization of herbal medicine.

The project is able to create economical transportation and shorten the length of maritime shipment. The researcher presented and explained through the analysis and the explanation of “un-threat” from the formation of the modern Thai Canal policy. The Thai Canal 9A Route policy was based on the Senate’s proposal, which was unanimously agreed on June 24, 2005, to dig the Thai Canal 9A Route. It will be able to create a transportation system for peace between the Indian Ocean, through the Thai sea, and towards the Chinese-Japanese seas. It will be feasible by economic cooperation through joint investment among the four powerful countries. The management will be done through the joint investment from the four leaders of the powerful countries on “Thai Fund for the Thai Canal 9A Route”, which consists of alliances such as the US Fund for Thai Canal 9A Route, the Indian Fund for the Thai Canal 9A Route, the ASEAN Wealth Fund for the Thai Canal 9A Route, and the China Maritime Silk Road Fund for the Canal 9A Route.

FISHERIES SCIENCE 2005; 71: 791–798 Incentive for shifts in water management systems by shrimp culturists in southern Thailand Chifumi KASAI,1 Thongchai NITIRATSUWAN,2 Osamu BABA3 AND Hisashi KUROKURA1* 1Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8657, Japan, 2Faculty of Science and Fisheries Technology, Rajamangala Institute of Technology, Trang 92150, Thailand and 3Faculty of Fisheries, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Tokyo 108-8477, Japan ABSTRACT: Water management systems and other business situations of shrimp culturists were surveyed in two districts in southern Thailand. There were three types of water management systems in southern Thailand, namely closed, semiclosed and open systems, categorized by the frequency of exchange of pond water. Shrimp culturists in those districts tended to shift their system from the open system to the closed system of their own accord, and the average net income ratio decreased due to the change of water management system in a district from more than 2 to less than 1. The reason for this shift, in spite of the decrease in the profit rate, was prevention of infectious disease caused by water exchange. In conclusion, it was proven that independent shrimp culturists, such as medium and small scale shrimp pond owners in southern Thailand, would accept short-term decreases in profit rate in order to stabilize production. KEY WORDS: closed system, incentive, shrimp culture, Thailand, water management. INTRODUCTION propagation of infectious disease and degradation of environment, such as cutting down the stocking Cultured shrimps are the main product for export density and feeding levels, are unpopular with in several developing countries.

  • Industrial Hazardous Wastes, Increasing Approximately 15,000 Tons Compared to 2005
    Preface The Enhancement and Conservation of National Environmental Quality Act 1992 prescribed that the Pollution Control Committee must prepare Thailand State of Pollution Report and submit to the National Environment Board annually. Thailand State of Pollution Report may regard as a technical document, indicating the success of Thailand environmental development. Thailand State of Pollution 2006 gathered the events and significant pollution problems, occurring from January to December 2006 and comprising water quality management, air quality and noise management, waste and hazardous chemical management, pollution complaints, environmental enhancement and environmental driving forces. Furthermore, the environmental landmarks with respect to environmental pollution were also recorded in this report. These were such as the noise pollution at Suvannabhumi International Airport, the problem caused by Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) at Mab Ta Pud in Rayong. These environmental pollutions reflected the problems and disasters affecting to the environment. In order to solve the environmental problems, participation from all stakeholders is needed to effectively stimulate the environmental management. The Pollution Control Committee would like to express its sincere appreciation to all relevant agencies and organizations for their supports to provide the information and comments in this report. The contribution will then benefit to governmental agencies, private sectors, educational institutes and the public in general with respect to the right
