Information programs of SEAFDEC

Abstract

The information program of SEAFDEC has expanded rapidly since the first Seminar on Fisheries Information Science in Southeast Asia, organized by the SEAFDEC Secretariat, in collaboration with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada, in Bangkok from 16 to 20 August 1982. Several countries in the Southeast Asian region are now cooperating with SEAFDEC to promote an effective transfer of fishery and aquaculture information both within and outside the region. This paper presents the progress of the activities of SEAFDEC concerning the information programs which include the publication, information, and audio-visual programs being carried out by the SEAFDEC Departments as well as the information projects of the Secretariat and the Aquaculture Department, in cooperation with IDRC, i.e., the Southeast Asian Fisheries Information System (SEAFIS) and the Brackishwater Aquaculture Information System (BRAIS).
