Utilizing alternative ingredients in aquafeeds for sustainable aquaculture
Aya, Frolan A.
Aquaculture is considered as the key to ensuring enough food protein to feed the growing world population (FAO, 2014). It is expected that the global food demand will increase to 70% in 2050. Aquaculture is touted as the fastest growing food-producing sector in the world. The accelerated growth of the aquaculture sector has resulted in the expansion of aquaculture feed production. However, at present, the aquaculture feed industry is confronted with pressing issues such as the limited availability and escalating cost of dietary fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO). FM has traditionally been used in aquaculture feed due to its high protein quality and palatability. However, the success of the aquaculture industry will depend in part on the reduction or replacement of FM use in aquaculture feeds using less expensive alternative protein sources. Several alternative feed ingredients, including plant-derived materials, have been tested in aquaculture feeds for several fish species of economic importance. Meanwhile, other non-conventional protein sources such agricultural wastes and by-products have been found to hold enormous potentials in future fish feed formulations.

Towards sustainable fisheries development in Southeast Asia: the twenty-year Japanese trust fund saga in SEAFDEC
Ishii, Kaoru; Kawashima, Tetsuya; Sulit, Virgilia T.
After the establishment of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) in 1967, the Government of Japan through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs provided funds for the operations of SEAFDEC and the Departments in accordance with the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC until 2006. In 1998 and in addition to these funds, the Fisheries Agency of Japan started to provide SEAFDEC with the Japanese Trust Fund (JTF). The continued financial assistance from the Government of Japan through the JTF enabled SEAFDEC to pursue the implementation of its regional projects and activities in Southeast Asia.

Strengthening regional cooperation to support the implementation of port state measures in Southeast Asia

Illegal Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing is a global threat to sustainable fisheries and to the management and conservation of fishery resources. As a tool to combat IUU fishing, enhanced port State control has increasingly gained importance throughout the last decennium. The growing reliance on port States to combat non-sustainable fishing practices stems to a great extent from the failure of flag States to effectively control fishing operations carried out by vessels flying their flag. Port State Measures (PSM) are requirements established or interventions undertaken by port States in which a foreign fishing vessel must comply with or is subjected to as a condition for use of ports within the port State. National PSM would typically include requirements related to prior notification of port entry, use of designated ports, restrictions on port entry and landing/transhipment of fish, restrictions on supplies and services, documentation requirements, and port inspections, as well as related measures, such as IUU vessel listing, trade-related measures and sanctions. Many of these measures have in recent years seen their inclusion and development in international instruments.
