The annual publication of Fisheries Statistical Bulletin of Southeast Asia is a long-term program of SEAFDEC intended to exhibit the fisheries statistics based on standardized regional definitions and classifications. With continuous support from SEAFDEC through the relevant activities aimed at improving the capacities of the countries in the compilation and processing of their respective fisheries data and information, the AMSs have improved their national fisheries statistical systems. With the data and information provided by the AMSs, SEAFDEC is therefore able to come up with a regional synthesis of the region's status and trend of fisheries, improve the data analysis and exchange, and the analyzed to present information in a user-friendly manner by the Bulletin.
As in previous issues, concise data analysis is illustrated in this 2015 Bulletin and it is hoped that the data analyzed will assist AMSs in addressing current fisheries issues at national and regional levels. With the availability of timely fisheries data and information, SEAFDEC also strives to improve close coordination between AMSs and related organizations in dealing with the complexities of fisheries in the region. SEAFDEC could not compile the necessary information alone, so the publication of this 2015 Bulletin has been made possible with the continued support and cooperation of the AMS.
On behalf of SEAFDEC, our gratitude goes specifically to the relevant personnel from AMS for their hard work in providing SEAFDEC with reliable national fisheries data and information. We look forward to stronger collaboration with AMSs and related organizations for the compilation of regional fisheries data and information, as well as for enhanced fisheries statistics to be included in subsequent editions of the Bulletin.

Production in value represents the equivalent of the value of products for landing (weighted average monthly value, if available). If a unit other than gross tons is used to measure the size of the boat, this must be converted to gross tons. Although the method of measuring the tonnage of fishing boats varies from country to country, the statistics must be based on national measurement standards.
Statistics on fishing units are mainly used to take into account the limitation of the number of fishing units for fisheries management. To facilitate the reporting of fishing unit statistics, see Appendix 4 for details. Statistics on fishermen are usually obtained from the sea fisheries census of the 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
The 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 fisheries caught.
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 the different legal definitions used by each country, the table below shows the classification of small-scale and commercial fisheries of the countries of the region. Indonesia Fishing operated without boat, using boat without power, using outboard engine <5 GT, or inboard engine size <5 GT .. a) Fishing operating using outboard engine 5-30 GT or size of inboard engine 5-30 GT. Malaysian traditional fisheries: small-scale fishing using traditional fishing gear (ie other than trawls and gillnets) with vessels less than 40 GRT operating in all areas concentrated in Zone 1.
Commercial fishing: Medium and large-scale fishing with commercial fishing gear such as trawls and purse seines. Myanmar coastal fisheries: vessels of less than 30 ft or with an engine of less than 12 hp operating in Zone 1. Industrial fisheries: vessels of more than 30 ft or with more than 12 hp of engines 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

However, in terms of fisheries statistics, no country in the region collects the data in such individual groups. However, countries in the region agreed to separately report production from: a) Anchovies; and b) Fish seine. Operated from a boat, they are usually used on the bottom where they are pulled by two ropes, usually very long, set in the water to ensure that as many fish as possible are driven or chased towards the opening of the net.
The two wings extend to increase the swing area and guide the fish on the path of the net down to the bag. Fish trying to get through the net wall are gilled or entangled in the net. Migrating fish become entangled between two layers of nets rather than in the mesh, where a combination of different types of nets is used.
A trap refers to a device that is placed or placed in the water for a certain period, regardless of the type of materials used in their construction. Given its functionality, this set of traps stays in the water for a long time at least until the end of the fishing season.

By country, Indonesia reported the highest fishing production in 2015 in terms of quantity, accounting for approximately 50.3% of Southeast Asia's total fishing production. In terms of quantity, the total marine fisheries production of Southeast Asian countries during 2011–2015 indicated that Indonesia contributed the highest production to the region's total. An image of the production volume of marine fisheries in the region in 2015 can be derived from Figure 1.
The production of Indonesia, the third largest producer in the region, consisted mainly of striped snakehead (Chana striata), which accounted for about 8.9% of the country's total production from inland fisheries. In 2015, the total aquaculture production in the region accounted for approximately 54.9% of the total fishery production in the region in terms of volume and 40.6% in terms of value. In 2015, the total production from brine accounted for approximately 13.0% of the total production from aquaculture in the region (Figure 7).
Production of Gracilaria seaweed (Gracilaria spp.) mainly produced by Indonesia had the highest amount representing 36.3% of the region's total production from brackish water culture. Production from marine fisheries of the Southeast Asian region by gear type is shown in Fig.
