Synopsis (short abstract) The document reviews the recommendations contained in the above declaration, which was issued by the Conference on Aquaculture in the Third Millennium held in February 2000 in Bangkok. The declaration laid down guidelines for the development of aquaculture so that it can help meet the food needs of the growing world population as global capture fisheries production continues to decline. Yet aquaculture promotion must take into account the increasing pressure on land, water and other natural reso urces and the need to ensure that large-scale aquaculture operations do not have negative environmental and social-economic impacts. The publication examines the various issues raised by the Bangkok declaration, ranging from recognition of the value of indigenous knowledge, poverty alleviation and the application of modern scientific knowledge, to promoting market development and regional and inter-regional cooperation. The document includes sections on aquaculture development trends in the four Asian subregions as well as individual accounts of aquaculture in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Republic of Korea, Thailand and Viet Nam.
