Kato, Yasuhisa
The paper informed the Workshop that a previous meeting held in MFRDMD to discuss the Collaborative Research Programme had decided that, among others, the collaborative survey in Vietnam would be the last of its kind in the South China Sea. Future collaborative surveys should be reviewed and properly planned and organized to meet the specific needs of fisheries and their development, with more committed participation by researchers from the Departments of SEAFDEC. The acoustic component for future survey should also be reviewed to include species identification and its outcome beneficial for the management and development of fisheries. Also, future projects proposals should take into consideration the transboundary fish stocks, including oceanic squids, and may need to prepare for the scrutiny of the Program Committee.

Kato, Yasuhisa
SEAFDEC's Interdepartmental Collaborative Research Program on Fishery Resources Survey in the South China Sea was initiated in 1995 after the acquisition of MV SAEFDEC from Japan. The area covered in the survey were the Gulf of Thailand and east coast of Peninsular Malaysia (Area 1), water of Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei Darussalam (Area II), west coast of Luzon Island in the Philippines (Area III), and waters of Vietnam (Area IV). Besides resources assessment using the acoustic survey, the researchers had also undertaken studies in oceanography and marine biology. The paper highlights the achievements and problems encountered from these survey.

Phase III: Fisheries management
Nasir, Mohd Taupek Mohd
The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCFR), unanimously adopted on 31 October 1995 by the FAO Conference, provides the necessary framework for national and international efforts to ensure the objectives of ensuring the effective conservation, management and development of all living aquatic resources can hopefully be achieved. Four years of exhaustive efforts by interested countries of the world have resulted in a consensus on the current comprehensive text of the CCFR. During the negotiation process, however, specific regional issues were diluted, or perhaps even avoided, with a towards finding acceptable global compromises and consensus on controversial issues. The different fishing scenarios and issues that exist within the Southeast Asian region, especially those relating to the multi-species coastal and small-scale fisheries, which are rather dominant here but unfortunately were only superficially covered by the global Code, need to be firmly addressed before the Code can be implemented for the region. The paper outlines the various steps currently being taken by SEAFDEC MFRDMD to regionalize the Code (Fisheries Management) for Southeast Asia.

Yaacob, Ku Kassim Ku
The remote sensing techniques is used to study the distribution of fish in relation with the oceanic phenomena such as sea surface temperature (SST) and ocean color (phytoplankton). The pelagic fishing data were analysed from May 1997 to August 1998. The satellite data from NOAA AVHRR (SST) and SeaWiFS (phytoplankton) were also analysed. The results show that a lot of pelagic fish were caught in the warm water fronts as well as in the area of high density of phytoplankton. Further analyses should be made to come out with the firmer conclusion.
