Synopsis (short abstract) Asian Aquaculture industry has achieved rapid growth in the past four decades. Rapid development of aquaculture has contributed significantly to improved nutrition and livelihood in many Asian countries. Aquaculture supplies over 60 percent of food fish for the people and provides over 18 million jobs in the primary production sector. Aquaculture is a relatively new food production sectors compared with crop farming, animal husbandry and other food production sectors. Aquaculture has been developing largely without effectively planning and management in most Asian countries. Lack of effective tools tailed for planning and managing aquaculture in the Asian context was identified as the key technical constraint for improved planning and management of the sector. Responding to the recommendations from APFIC Session and regional consultation, FAO supported the development of aquaculture planning management toolkit as early as in 2013. A FAO regional Technical Cooperation Programme Project supported development of operational manual of four aquaculture planning and management tools selected from the toolkit developed by FAO consultants in 2013 and their piloting in Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam in 2016-2017. The publication includes the project implementation summary, final version of tool manuals for aquaculture ecological carrying capacity estimate, feasibility study, farm biosecurity plan development and aquaculture traceability and report on piloting of the four tools in the three countries. It is expected that dissemination of the tool manuals and experiences and lessons from the piloting of the tools with the publication will promote the application of the four aquaculture planning and management tools and interest in developing and applying more tools for improved planning and management of aquaculture in the region.

    The Conference on Aquaculture in the Third Millennium (the Bangkok Conference on Aquaculture) was held on 20-25 February 2000 in Bangkok, Thailand, for the purpose of developing a strategy for aquaculture development in the next 20 years. It was a sequel to the Kyoto Conference on Aquaculture, which was organized by FAO in May-June 1976. The Bangkok Conference was attended by 549 participants representing all stakeholder groups in aquaculture. The participants were members of more than 200 organ izations and came from 66 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, the former Soviet Republics, the Near East, North America, and Oceania. The list of participants appears as Annex 3.1. The Bangkok Conference crafted the document Aquaculture Development Beyond 2000: the Bangkok Declaration and Strategy, which has been published separately by NACA/FAO. The Declaration addresses the role of aquaculture in alleviating rural poverty, improving livelihoods and food securi ty, and maintaining the integrity of natural and biological resources and the sustainability of the environment. The Strategy comprises 17 elements that focus on measures that governments, the private sector and other concerned organizations can incorporate into their development programmes for the aquaculture sector. It highlights the need for regional and interregional cooperation to assist in its implementation. This Report of the Bangkok Conference on Aquaculture, the second publication ar ising from the Millennium Conference, includes the detailed recommendations of the fourteen thematic conference sessions. The third publication will be the Technical Proceedings of the Bangkok Conference. The Bangkok Conference was organized by NACA and FAO and hosted by the Government of Thailand. It was held at the Central Plaza Hotel in Bangkok, along with the Aquaculture and Seafood Fair 2000, which was seen by more than 3000 visitors.
