    In 1994, world aquaculture production reached 25.5 million mt, valued at US$ 39.83 billion. Asia contributed 89.9% of this total, and has since continued to dominate global production. The drive to produce more fish and shellfish to meet the growing demand has lead many aquaculturists in Asia to intensify their operations. In many instances, the complex balance between the fish/shellfish and the environment is not well understood, the organism under culture subsequently becoming stressed and pro ne to infections. As we have already witnessed, disease has been and will continue to be a major constraint to the development of the aquaculture industry. Considering the FAO's priority on developing sustainable aquaculture, the large Asian contribution to global aquaculture production and the seemingly high losses of revenue due to diseases and health-related problems, FAO, in consultation with the Network of Aquaculture Centres in the Asia-Pacific (NACA), the Aquatic Animal Health Research In stitute (AAHRI), the South East Asian Fisheries Development Centre (SEAFDEC) and the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (UPM), and in collaboration with the Fish Health Section of the Asian Fisheries Society (FHS/AFS), organized a Regional Expert Consultation on Aquaculture Health Management in Asia and the Pacific, which was held at the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia in Serdang, Malaysia in May 1995. This document comprises the technical papers presented at the Consultation, and is a supplement to th e report of the consultation, FAO Fisheries Report No. 529 (FAO, Rome, 1995. 24 p.)

    Primary work (Coates 1985, 1986, 1987) has established that the Sepik and Ramu river systems of northern Papua New Guinea are low in fish species numbers and biomass by comparison with similar systems elsewhere in the world. Current studies (Coates 1989, 1990) suggest that the system is not food-limited, but that due to its recent zoo-geographical history, there has been limited opportunity for specialised occupation of freshwater niches by suitable species. In the upper Highland reaches of the system there is a particular need for additional quality food sources to serve local populations, many of whom already actively fish the river. In the lower levels, the establishment of a balanced and productive fish stock will have important consequences for the longer-term development of the region. The UNDP/FAO project PNG/85/001, through which much of the above work has been carried out, has as its main objective the enhancement of fish production in the Sepik system; specific aims of whic h are:
