Report of the Seminar on Fishery and Aquaculture Information Systems in Southeast Asia, Bangkok, Thailand, 7-10 February 1989

The need to improve fisheries information management in the region was recognized as early as 1982 when SEAFDEC, in collaboration with IDRC, organized the Seminar on Fisheries Information Science in Southeast Asia. During the Seminar, existing fisheries information systems at the national, international, and regional levels were identified, and corresponding problems and constraints were discussed. The recommendation to strengthen the national information services and to promote regional cooperation/collaboration with a view to improving effective transfer of fishery information within and outside the region was considered. As a sequel to the 1982 Seminar, the SEAFDEC Secretariat organized the SEAFIS Regional Seminar on Fishery and Aquaculture Information Systems in Southeast Asia, held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 7 to 10 February 1989. The list of participants and observers, and the Agenda appear as Annexes 1 and 2. The objectives of the Seminar were to review the current status of fishery and aquaculture information systems in the region, and to determine future activities in order to strengthen collaboration between various information sources in Southeast Asia. The Seminar also aimed to determine the appropriate training programs which could enhance development of fishery information systems in the region as well as improve information management.
