overall coordination of training activities (4.5), on a scale of one to five.
Sub-activity 3.2 Rural aquaculture program
Not applicable at the moment. To be conducted Nov. 24- Dec. 3, 2015
6. Major Impacts/Issues
Activity 2.1 -The Sagay local government affirmed to adopt the initiative by funding the construction of a small-scale solar-powered hatchery to ensure seed supply in 2013. However, actual construction in 2015 is constrained by use rights for the parcel of land in the island. The role of governance and the need to enable fishers to access livelihood assets (e.g. land, capital, skills, etc.) is demonstrated and is a challenge in this applied social science research.
PART III: PROPOSED ACTIVITIES FOR YEAR 2016
1. Proposed Activity/Sub-activity, Workplan and Estimated Budget for the Year 2016
(Unit: USD) Proposed Activity Description of Proposed Activity Proposed
Budget Activity 1. Establishment of environment-friendly, responsible aquaculture technology
Sub-activity 1.1 Use of plant-based protein sources in tilapia feeds for improved production traits
Trials will be conducted to compare growth and fry production of tilapia broodstock fed graded levels (0, 50 and 100%) of the identified crop residue in a 40% crude protein diet and reared for 21 weeks in lake-based cages and tanks.

Sub-activity 1.2 Responsible aquaculture through aquasilviculture
Aquasilviculture as an ecosystem-based pond management strategy will be investigated.
Micro-organisms present in the mangrove forest has the ability to transform nutrients to
bioavailable form that can be eaten by
microorganisms lower in the food web which in turn can serve as food to organisms higher in the food web like the crabs. This process of
transformation also improves water quality. The ability of mangroves to improve water quality is affected by the mangrove to pond area ratio (MPR). This study aims to establish the duration for a mangrove habitat to remove nutrients from shrimp pond including other factors that might affect its efficiency. Monitoring of nutrient levels and bacterial flora of environments receiving effluent from shrimp farms started in 2015 will be continued in 2016.

Project id: 2015050101 Program Categories: Project under the ASEAN-SEAFDEC FCG/ASSP Mechanism
Project Title: Enhancement of Sustainability of Catadromous Eel Resources in Southeast Asia
Program Thrust: I Total Duration: 2015 – 2019
Lead Department: IFRDMD Lead Country: Indonesia
Donor/Sponsor: JTF-6 Total Donor Budget: USD 210,000
Project Partner: None Budget for 2016: USD 42,000
Project leader: Dr. Dina Muthmainnah Involved Country All SEAFDEC Member Countries
PART I: OVERALL PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. Brief Project Description
This project is aimed at enhancing the sustainability of catadromous eel resources in Southeast Asia (hereinafter it is to be called “the region”).
There are three main activities on the project. The first one is aimed at clear understanding on current situation of resources, fisheries and utilization of catadromous eels in the region. The second one is aimed at improving data collection and statistics of catadromous eel catch in ASEAN Member States (hereinafter referred to as “AMS”). The third one is aimed at enhancing knowledge and capacity in AMS for the conservation, management and sustainable utilization of catadromous eel resources.
In particular, lack of data and statistics on tropical eel species may bring negative impact to the fisheries sectors. Various kind of information about the tropical eels should be collected through a variety of sources, including the fishing activities (catch statistics), biological surveys and from the beneficiaries (traders, consumers and so on).
2. Background and Justification
With the rapid decline of temperate eels, the market value of tropical eels rises in recent years. Glass eel (juvenile of eel) capture fisheries in tropical zone increases dramatically. In order to avoid the over exploitation on glass eel, the Indonesian government issued the regulation to prohibit export of eel seeds less than 150 g from Indonesia’s territory. The similar policies to prohibit export of eel seeds are enforced in some other countries. Conservation and management policy issues on tropical eel resources for their sustainability become more important not only in Indonesia but also in the region. Therefore, the region needs a policy to balance between utilization and sustainability of tropical eel resources. At the same time, we should consider that we have just quite limited knowledge on tropical eel species in this region yet.
The main objectives of this project are to find out the current status of eel fisheries, to develop the data collection methods and statistical data on fisheries production, and to promote the management plans for conservation and sustainable use of tropical eel resources. The Goals of the project are construction of guidelines on conservation, management and sustainable utilization of catadromous eel resources in the region.
