Report of the Technical Experts Meeting on Management of Transboundary Species for Southern Andaman Sea

Abstract

The Technical Experts Meeting on Management of Transboundary Species for Southern Andaman Sea was held on 4-5 April 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand which was organized and facilitated by SEAFDEC-Sweden Project. The objectives of the Meeting were to identify existing data on anchovies, mackerels and Neritic tunas that can be used to produce maps of these features covering the Southern Andaman Sea. The meeting focused on data on spawning grounds, spawning seasons, other biological data, habitats and migration patterns as well as existing fisheries regulations. The resulting maps could serve as inputs to future coordination of national fisheries measures.
