Southeast Asian State of Fisheries and Aquaculture (Seasofia) 2017 Forty-ninth Meeting of the Council WP06.3 Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center The Rizqun International Hotel, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam 3-7 April 2017 SOUTHEAST ASIAN STATE OF FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE (SEASOFIA) 2017 I. BACKGROUND Information on the status and trends of fisheries is widely recognized as crucial in serving as basis for sustainable development and management of fisheries. SEAFDEC throughout the past decades had undertaken several activities to compile various forms of fishery-related data and information, e.g. regional fishery statistics based on the national statistics data provided by the Southeast Asian countries, as well as other data and information from different SEAFDEC programs/projects. In order to ensure that the outputs from these initiatives could be integrated or digested into information that support the development and management for sustainable fisheries of the region, SEAFDEC in 2010 undertook a pilot exercise in developing the publication on “The Southeast Asian State of Fisheries and Aquaculture” or “SEASOFIA”. Such endeavor was meant to provide platform for compilation of synthesized data and information generated from various programs of activities, while incorporating other data and information available in the region, in order to provide better understanding on the status and trends of fisheries and aquaculture of the region. The first SEASOFIA was published in 2012. While taking into consideration the usefulness of the SEASOFIA especially as a tool in providing a platform for integrating regional data and information and in coming up with information to support policy planning and management of fisheries, the SEAFDEC Council during its 44th Meeting agreed that the SEASOFIA could be published on a regular basis, i.e. every 5 years. It was also suggested that future production of the publication should be done in close coordination with other agencies that produce similar publications in order to avoid possible redundancies of the contents. Specifically, the SEASOFIA could focus on the analysis of the specificity of fisheries in the Southeast Asian region and could include the reasons behind the changing trends of fishery production in respective Southeast Asian countries. An analysis of the respective countries’ policy directions and management policies, as well as of over-exploitation or under-exploitation of stocks should also be included in the publication. With the support from SEAFDEC Council at its 48th Meeting, the preparation of SEASOFIA2017 was undertaken through close consultation among SEAFDEC Departments, and the draft content was compiled based on inputs from the respective Departments. The draft SEASOFIA was submitted to the 39th PCM for comment, and to seek additional inputs for the publication. While noting that SEAFDEC has requested for additional information from Member Countries, the PCM recommended that as in 2017 SEAFDEC is planning to convene its 50th Anniversary in November 2017, the launching of SEASOFIA 2017 should be made at the 50th Anniversary event. After accommodating comment from the 48th CM and inputs after the 39th PCM, SEAFDEC came up with draft SEASOFIA 2017 (Annex 1) for consideration by the SEAFDEC Council. Nevertheless, there are still issues faced by SEAFDEC in finalization of the publication, i.e. lack of data for topic on crocodile culture (the topic was suggested by the 48th CM), lack of data on species with prominent production. II. REQUIRED CONSIDERATION BY THE COUNCIL The Council is requested: 1) To support publishing of SEASOFIA 2017; 1 2) To provide policy guidance on lack of data e.g. crocodile culture from countries, species data with prominent production; and 3) To provide policy guidance for improvement SEASOFIA to be produce in the future. 2 Annex 1 (DRAFT) SOUTHEAST ASIAN STATE OF FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE 2017 Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Preparation and Distribution of this Document Southeast Asian State of Fisheries and Aquaculture 2017 was prepared by the Secretariat of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC), in collaboration with the SEAFDEC Departments, namely: the Training Department (TD), Marine Fisheries Research Department (MFRD), Aquaculture Department (AQD), the Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (MFRDMD) and the Inland Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (IFRDMD) as well as contribution from Member Countries in Southeast Asia. The document is distributed to the SEAFDEC Member Countries and Departments, partner agencies and other fisheries-related organizations, and to the public to promote the activities and visibility of the Center.

GLOBAL PRODUCTION AND UTILIZATION OF FISH For over one and a half decades, the global fish production has continued to grow from 136.2 million metric tons (MT) in 2000 to 195.7 million MT in 2014, increasing at a rate of approximately 3.12% annually (Table 1). During the same period, utilization of fish (for human consumption and non-food uses) also increased from 131.0 million MT to 167.2 million MT or an increase of 1.97 percent annually (FAO, 2016). During the period from 2000 to 2009, the percentage of fish produced for human consumption had risen by approximately 74% to 85%, declining sharply during 2010-2011, and remaining rather steady at approximately 75% until 2014 (Figure 2).

There is, however, presently no study conducted on the endoparasites infestation in these fishes. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to identify endoparasitic worms and examine the intensity level in skipjack tuna K. pelamis from Sibolga waters. Sampling was conducted in Debora Private Fishing Port, Sibolga from 4th to 18th June 2019 and a total of 20 fish samples with weight ranged between 740 g and 1.200 g and length from 37.2 cm to 41.4 cm were analyzed in the study. The identification of the worm was conducted in the laboratory using a stereo microscope. The results showed seven species or genera of worms were found in the intestine and stomach of the fish with varying level of intensity and incidence. For example, Echinorhynchus sp. was found with 100% intestinal and 10% stomach incidences at a total intensity of 8.5; Acanthocephalus sp. with 25% intestinal incidence and 1.6 intensity, Rhadinorhynchus sp. with 25% intestinal and 5% stomach incidences, and 1.5 intensity; Leptorhynchoides sp.

Ichthyofauna checklist (Chordata: Actinopterygii) for indicating water quality in Kampar River catchment, Malaysia. Biodiversitas 19: 2252-2274. The limnological habitats are receptors of pollution, thus local fish species richness is a plausible biological indicator to reflect the quality of a particular water body. However, database on species occurrence that corresponds with the water physico-chemistry constituents is often not available. The problem is compounded by the lack of species identification description to assist those working on river and freshwater resource conservation projects. This paper attempts to fill the gaps in the context of Kampar River drainage. Based on sampling exercises conducted from October 2015 to March 2017, an annotated list with visual data for 56 species belonging to 44 genera and 23 families is presented. The water physico-chemistry data is also summarized with the corresponding visual data of limnological zones studied. The species diversity results are further compared with other local drainages and the correlation between area size and their relationship is expressed by y = 17.627e0.0601x.

In feeding trial I, five fish meal-based diets were prepared [control (pH 6.0), AD 5.3, 4.3, 3.2 and 2.5]. Each diet was fed to triplicate batches of wild-caught O. marmorata (19 fish/ tank; total length, TL = 4.72±0.46 cm) for 8 weeks. The control, AD 5.3, and AD 4.3 treatments were terminated at week 4, due to drastic decline in total feed intake (TFI=0–0.05 g) and weight loss (weight gain, WG = -15.3 to -16.9%) in the fish. The AD 3.2 and AD 2.5 treatments were continued until week 8. Fish fed with the AD 3.2 showed significantly higher (P < 0.05) TFI (0.98 g) compared to those fed with the AD 2.5 (0.73 g) at the end of the trial. Feeding trial II was done to assess the long-term effects of AD for another 7 weeks. Thirty fish specimens were randomly selected from each of AD 3.2 and AD 2.5 treatments and stocked individually in 7 L aquaria to eliminate the territorial behaviour that was observed in the first trial.

The Diversity and Conservation Status of Fishes in the Nature Reserves of Singapore PETER K.L. NG AND KELVIN K.P. LIM Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research Department of Biological Sciences National University of Singapore Kent Ridge, Singapore 119260 Abstract An update on the taxonomy and conservation status of the 61 indigenous species of freshwater fis hes now known from Singapore is provided. Of these, 26 species (43%) are extinct. Of the 35 extant species, 33 are known in the Nature Reserves and 21 appear to be restricted there. Of the 52 introduced species of fish in Singapore, 17 are present in the Nature Reserves. The conservation status of native fishes in the Nature Reserves is assessed and the survival of hi ghly threatened species discussed. The significance of the Nature Reserves for freshwater fi sh conservation is highlighted. Introduction : be ascertained. The freshwater fish fauna of Singapore is among the best studied in the region and has been the subject of many publications (Alfred, 1961, 1966; Johnson, 1973; Munro, 1990; Lim & P.K.L. Ng, 1990; P.K.L. Ng & Lim, 1996). In the first major synopsis of the Singapore ichthyofauna, Alfred (1966) listed a total of 73 native and introduced species from Singapore of which 42 were still extant. Alfred (1968) subsequently listed 35 native species as extant and believed 19 were extinct. It was 22 years before the next appraisal was made by Lim & P.K.L. Ng (1990) in their guide to the freshwater fishes of Singapore.
