Book (stand-alone)Report of the Seminar on the Mud Crab Culture and Trade - BOBP/REP/51
Swat Thani, Thailand; November 5-8,1991
1992Also available in:
No results found.The mud crab, Scylla sp.. found throughout the Indo-Pacific region. has become increasingly popular by virtue of its meat quality and large size. While regional trade in the species has been growing. very little attention has been given to the fishery and culture in the Bay of Bengal region. The fishery, culture and trade in Scylla sp. i s small-scale and involves artisanal fisherfolk, thus attracting the interest of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). As little is known of the state of the fishery, culture and trade. it was felt that a regional seminar might be an appropriate medium for an exchange of information among BOBP’s member countries. A seminar would also provide an opportunity to update knowledge of the industry. Southern Thailand, particularly the province of Surat Thani, has long been a centre for the capture and culture of the mud crab. With the proximity of the provincial brackishwater station and the opportunity to observe the industry first-hand; the town of Surat Thani promised to be an ideal venue for the seminar. And so, BOBP, in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries (DOCF) of the Government of Thailand, convened the seminar from November 5 to 8, 1991 Representatives from all the BOBP member countries, as well as the Philippines, Australia and U.S.A., attended. Aquaculturists, scientists, businessmen, socio-economists, feed manufacturers and development strategists were among the 54 participants. There were five sessions: Biol ogy and natural resources. Seed supply, Culture, Trade and a combined session with focus on Extension, Credit and Economic. During these sessions, 22 papers a nd six backgrounders were presented. To our knowledge, this was the first seminar in the region, and perhaps the world, devoted exclusively to the mud crab. -
