The improved statistics from the AMS are then compiled by SEAFDEC for the publication of the annual Southeast Asian Fisheries Statistical Bulletin, which has been maintained since 1976. In addition, SEAFDEC also recognizes that these statistics and information are useful to the AMS and SEAFDEC as a basis for making appropriate policies, management measures and approaches based on the actual state of available resources for the development of sustainable fisheries. Furthermore, AMS must have such data at hand to justify national measures towards the sustainable development and management of their fisheries.
Publication of this 2013 Bulletin was successfully realized with the continued support of the AMSs through their efforts to come up with the most up-to-date national fisheries data and information. SEAFDEC is therefore grateful to the national agencies and relevant staff of the AMSs for their cooperation and support. SEAFDEC, for its part, is committed to continuing to assist the AMSs in the sustainable development of their respective fisheries, and looks forward to strengthening cooperation with the AMSs, particularly on the compilation of fisheries data for upcoming issues of the Bulletin.
Once again, SEAFDEC would like to thank the AMS and related organizations for their cooperation and support in the collection of fisheries statistics, including the inputs included in this bulletin for 2013. SEAFDEC wishes to assure all interested parties that this annual publication to assist AMS in strengthening the sustainable development of their fisheries.

The production in value represents the value equivalent of the product of the supply (average monthly weighted value, if available). If a unit other than gross tonnage is used to measure the size of the boat, this must be converted to gross tonnage. Although the method of measuring fishing boat tonnage varies from country to country, statistics should be based on national measurement standards.
Statistics on the fishing unit are mainly used to consider the limitation of the number of fishing units for fisheries management. To facilitate the reporting of statistics for fishing units, please refer to Annex 4 for details. Statistics on fishermen are generally obtained from the Marine Fisheries Register of Member States.
Production can be reported by species in terms of number of larvae, fingerlings, juveniles etc. used focusing on two main objectives viz. they are standardized in accordance with FAO's Principal Fishing Areas, the boundaries of which are defined in consultation. with international fisheries agencies taking into account various considerations, including:. i) Border of national regions and natural divisions of oceans and seas; ii) The border of adjacent statistical fisheries bodies already established in intergovernmental conventions and treaties; v) Longitude and latitude grid system; vi).
Inland Fishing Areas
Fishing areas of the Southeast Asia region, established for fisheries statistical purposes, consist of inland and marine fishing areas, which is consistent with the definition and classification of hunting fisheries.
Marine Fishing Areas
Indian Ocean, Eastern)
In the sea waters between Sumatra and Java, the areas are bounded by a line starting on the coast of Sumatra on the border between them.
At marine waters between Sumatra and Java, the areas bounded by a line commencing on the coast of Sumatra at the boundary between
Pacific, Western Central)
Pacific, Northwest)
Due to different legal definitions used by each country, the following table shows the classification of small-scale and commercial fisheries of countries in the region. Indonesia Fisheries operated without the use of boat, using non-power boat, using outboard motor size <5 GT, or inboard motor size <5 GT .. a) Fisheries operated using outboard motor size 5- 30 GT or inboard motor size 5-30 GT. Malaysia Traditional fisheries: small-scale fisheries using traditional fishing gear (i.e. other than trawls and purse seines) with vessels less than 40 GRT operating in all zones concentrating in Zone 1.
Commercial fishing: Medium and large-scale fishing using commercial fishing gear, such as trawls and purse seines. Myanmar coastal fisheries: vessels of less than 9 meters or with engines of less than 12 hp operating in Zone 1. Industrial fisheries: vessels of more than 9 meters or with engines of more than 12 hp operating in Zone 2.
Philippines Municipal fisheries: small-scale fisheries with vessels of less than 3 GT operating in Zone 1 and 2. (a) Small-scale commercial fisheries: vessels of 3.1 to 20 GT operating in Zone 2; can also operate within a radius of 10.1-15 km (within Zone 1) if permission is granted by the concerned local government unit (LGU).
GT operating in Zone 1 Large-scale fisheries: vessels of more GT operating in Zone 2
Countries Fishing Zone 1 Fishing Zone 2 Fishing Zone 3 Fishing Zone 4 Brunei Darussalam From coastline to. From the coastline to a depth of 30 m in the northern and southern areas, to a depth of 50 m in the central area.

As far as fisheries statistics are concerned, no country in the region collects the data in such individual groups. However, countries in the region agreed to report separately the production of: (a) anchovy purse seines; and b) Fishing purse seines. They are operated from a boat and are usually used on the bottom where they are pulled by two, usually very long, ropes placed in the water to ensure that as many fish as possible are driven or herded towards the opening of the net .
Two arms extend to increase the swept area and guide the fish on the path of the net to the bottom of the cod. Fish trying to get through the net wall are spilled or entangled in the net. Migrating fish are entangled between two layers of nets rather than in a net where a combination of different types of nets are used.
Trap refers to an equipment that is placed or stationed in the water for a period of time, regardless of the type of material used in its construction. Given their operation, this group of traps is stationed in the water for a longer period of time, at least until the end of the fishing season.

Percentage contribution of sub-sectors to Southeast Asia's fisheries production in 2013 (left in quantity; right in value). In terms of value, Indonesia still leads the group of fish producing countries accounting for about 44.1% of the region's total production value from marine fisheries. A picture of the region's production from marine fisheries in 2013, in terms of volume, can be drawn from Fig.
The region's total production from inland capture fisheries in 2013 was 2,884,492 MT accounting for about 7.2% of the region's total fisheries production. However, Indonesia's production as the third largest producer in the region mainly consists of striped snakehead (Channa striata), which accounted for about 9.3% of the country's total production from inland capture fisheries. The region's total production from aquaculture in 2013 accounted for about 52.2% of the region's total fisheries production in terms of volume and 43.5% in terms of value.
In 2013, the total production from brackish water culture accounted for around 15.0% of the region's total production from aquaculture (Fig. 7). Gracilaria seaweed (Gracilaria spp.) production, mainly produced by Indonesia, accounted for the highest volume, representing 32.0% of the region's total production from brackish water culture.
