The

International Seminar

on

Sustainable Fishing

Technology in Asia towards

he

21'

Century

was

the

tirsl

challenge

as

the big international gathering

opportunity for the fishing technologists between

Indonesia and

Japan,

as

well

as

in the Asian

Pacific

region.

This

was

the

3d

JSPS

International Seminar

on Fisheries

Science

in Tropial Area

as

the follow-up

to

the

la Seminar on Fwd

Processing

in 1995,

and

the

zR'

Seminar

on

Aquaculture in

1997

under the support

itom

the Japan Society for Promotion of Science and

the

Directorate

General

of

Higher Education

as

the

counlerpart organization in Indonesia.

The first idea for holding the workshop to discuss the

common

tasks and goals

in

the

field

of fishing

kchnology was begun since 1992, when

we

had

the

halfday workshop of International

Trends

and

Perspectives in Fishing Technology, in the

Japanese

Society

of

Scientific Fisheries,

by

the steering energy

given from Dt.F.S.M.Chopin from the Marine Institute,

Canada. This enthusiasm

was

firstly realized in the

4Ih

Asian Fisheries

Forum

held at

Beijing

in 1995

as

the 1'

workshop

of

Cooperative

Research

in h i a for Fishing

Technology (CRAFT). This new wind enmuraged the

key-persons

for organizing Ihe

fishing technologists in

each

quntry in corresponding with the international

perspectives

on Responsible Fisheries, which

was

later

steered by

the

Training Department

of

the Southeast

Asian

Fisheries Development Center.

In

1996, the steering committee of

the

Collquium of

the Fishing Technology,

Japanese

Society of Scienlific

Fisheries, held the International Workshop on

Responsible Fishing Operation in Asian

Pacific,

by

inviting the international

experts

as the lecturers

and

commentators such

as

Prof.D.Monintja and

DtB.

Murdiyanto

from

Indonesia, Mr.B.Chokesanguan from

the

SEAFDEC/T*D.

Dr.S.Kennelly

from

Australia, and

Dr.C.Glam

from

USA.

The

fruitful discussion during

the workshop actually

set

the goal to

go 10

the next

step-up for holding the International Seminar in

Indonesia

as

the

landmark meeting

for

fishing

technologists

in

Asian

pacific through the intensive

contact between Pmf.K.

Satoh

and Prof.D.Monintja.

The

Indonesian

Fishing Technology Research

Networks ( I F E R N )

steered by ProED.Monintja from

the

Bogor

Agricultural University

can

be

the

core-group for organizing

the

Indonesian side, while

the

Tokyo

University

of

Fisheries can

organize the

participants from

Japan

and other

ASEAN

countries in

the

Core

University

Program

for Fisheries Science

under the Japan Society for

the

Pmrnotion

of

Science.

As

the preliminary challenge for

the

preparatory

activities,

the

Onboard Workshop on the Education and

Training Program in Fishing Technology

was

held

at

Jakarta

i n

1997,

when

the

represtnbtives

from

all the

member Universities of

JSPS

Core

University Program

were

invited to

get the

1'

announcement of call for

papers towards the main Seminar

in 1999.

This event

was the official opening of

the preparatory activities

followed

by the

action program

to

organize the

hierarchy of several committees and to distribute the

1'

announcement

by

mail and

by

Internet Homepage

from

the Tokyo University

of Fisheries

for

calling the papers.

The

Seminar

was

finally held

at Sahid b y a

Bali

Hotel

in Bali Island

on

19-21

August 1999,

after

the long

discussion among the organizing committee membtrs

for the

success

to attract

the

big number

of participants

from all over the archipelagos

of

Indonesia and Japan,

as

well

as

from

other

ASEAN

countries

covering

the

Asian Pacific region.

These

continuous

efforts

resulted into

the

successful

gathering

of the big number

of

fishing

technologists for

74

from Indonesia, 24

from

Japan,

2

from Thailand and Malaysia, and

1

each from

Philippines and Australia

as

in total of

f 04 participants.

The prawntations were counted

as

7

keynote and

country

reports,

60 for oral

and

24 for

poster,

together

with 6 supporting

papers in

the

scientific

sessions.

After the registration,

the

plenary opening

aremony

was

held with the progress

report h r n

the operation

committee

by

Dr.J.Haluan,

the

welcoming a d d m

from

the seminar organizer

by

ProtK.Satoh,

and

the

honourable

guests,

Pmf.M.Ahmad

from

Dr.Darnas

from

IPB and

Dr.Sapto

official opening call

of

the Seminar

by

Dr.Subiyanto

from

The keynote presentation

have

encouraged the parlicipants fur concentrating

thc

Finally, after the big applause to thc members of

Operation Committee

from

all the paflicipants, for their

enormous effort before and during the seminar, Mr-Haji

Ayodyhoa

from IPB

gave us the

official closing gong

with the

imprcssing address for encouraging all the

participanis to

see

again in the near future for

thc

further ac~ivitics

to promule

thc

research and

education

of

fishing technology in Asia.

All the papers submitted to the Seminar were

arranged

to the respective peer reviewing by the designated 2-3

referees through the Seminar Scientific Committee.

The

request of revision to each author

was

mailed

attached with the collected reviewer's check sheers and

comments,

i n

order to asking the elaboration and

up-grading of the manuscript.

The

Editors

and

the

Technical Editing Team were then

in

charge of the

tough tasks to format all !he selected papers toward the

publication of

the

Proceedings.

The launching of the Proceedings

was

just

on time to

start our next action

plan.

A!

the

follow-up

of these

series

uf

JSPS

International

Seminars on the Fisheries

Science in Tropical Area, the Joint Seminar

on the

Sustainable Fisheries

in Asia in the New Millcnnium

will be held in Bugor

on

August

2000.

We

hope

to

see

you

again sooner

for

anothcr fruiliul

and

exciting

cullaboration among countries and regions.
