However, public access to the electronic copy of the publication could only be made through the URL of the publication in the SIR; and not through another domain without written permission from SEAFDEC. Furthermore, the changing situation in fishing practices in the region and the new geopolitical structure of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), make it necessary to review and improve the compilation and production of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Statistical Bulletin since year 2008. Recognizing the importance of fisheries statistics in determining the status and trend of the region's fisheries, SEAFDEC also produces the “State of Southeast Asia Fisheries and Aquaculture” or.
SEASOFIA” in 2022 to serve as a platform for compiling synthesized data and information generated from various programs and activities, as well as incorporating other data and information available in the region in order to provide a better understanding of the status and trends of fisheries and aquaculture in the area. More specifically, the Fisheries Statistical Bulletin of Southeast Asia can provide the necessary information to synthesize part of the overview of the status and trends of fisheries and aquaculture in Southeast Asia. SEAFDEC is therefore grateful to the national agencies and relevant staff of the AMSs for their cooperation and support.
SEAFDEC is committed to continuing to assist the AMSs in the sustainable development of their respective fisheries sectors and looks forward to strengthening cooperation with the AMs, especially in the area of fisheries data compilation for the forthcoming issues of the Bulletin. SEAFDEC would once again like to thank the AMSs and associated organizations for their cooperation and support in collecting fisheries statistical data, including input into this 2019 Bulletin.

Production by value represents the value of the products corresponding to the landing (average monthly weighted value, where available). When 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 fishing boat tonnage varies from country to country, the statistics should be based on national measurement standards.
The statistics of fishing units are mainly used to consider the limitation of the number of fishing units for fisheries management. To facilitate the reporting of the statistics on fishing units, please refer to Annex 4 for details. The statistics on fishermen are generally taken from the sea fishing census in 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 Asian region, established for fisheries statistical purposes, consist of inland and marine fishing areas, which correspond to the definition and classification of capture 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 in the countries of the region. Indonesia Fishing that its operation without the use of boat, using non-motor boat, with outboard motor size <5 GT, or inboard motor size <5 GT .. a) Fishing that its operation using outboard motor size 5-30 GT or inboard engine size 5-30 GT. Malaysia Traditional fisheries: minor fisheries with traditional fishing gear (ie other than trawl and purse seine) with vessels below 40 GRT operating in all zones concentrated in Zone 1.
Commercial fishing: Medium and large-scale fishing using commercial fishing gear, such as trawls and purse seines. Coastal fishing in Myanmar: vessels of less than 9 meters or with engines of less than 12 hp, operating in Zone 1. Industrial fishing: 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 Zones 1 and 2 .. a) Small-scale commercial fisheries: from 3.1-20 GT vessels operating in Zone 2; may also operate within 10.1-15 km (within Zone 1) if authorized by the concerned Local Government Unit (LGU).
GT operating in Zone 1 Large-scale fisheries: vessels of more GT operating in Zone 2

As far as fisheries statistics are concerned, no country in the region collects data in such individual groups. However, countries in the region have agreed to report separately on the production of: a) purse seines with anchovies; and b) fish purse seines. They are operated from a boat and are usually used on the bottom where they are towed by two lines, usually very long, stretched into the water to ensure that as many fish as possible run or crowd 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.
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.

By land, Indonesia reported the highest fisheries production in 2019 in terms of volume, accounting for about 48.4% of total fisheries production in Southeast Asia, followed by. Percentage of sub-sectors' contribution to Southeast Asia's fisheries production in 2019 (back in quantity; right in value). In terms of quantity or volume, the total production from marine capture fisheries in Southeast Asian countries in 2015–2019 indicated that Indonesia contributed the highest volume to the region's total production.
An overview of the region's marine fisheries production volume in 2019 can be gleaned from Figure 3. In 2019, the region's total aquaculture production accounted for about 54.0% of the region's total fisheries production in terms of volume and 39.0% in terms of value. Total freshwater aquaculture production in 2019 represented about 20% of the region's total aquaculture production (Figure 7).
Whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) production, mainly produced by Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand, had the highest volume, accounting for 33.0% of the total brackishwater aquaculture production in the region. Figure 9 shows the production of marine fisheries in the Southeast Asian region by fishing gear type.
