Information from the papers presented in the last two shared stocks workshops were examined with regards to the availability of oceanographic data. Results of the recent collaborative survey conducted by SEAFDEC on MV SEAFDEC were presented particularly those obtained in the Eastern Peninsular Malaysia. It was found that the data currently available would be able to draw only few preliminary conclusions on the effects of the variability of oceanographic parameters on the pelagic fish stocks in the South China Sea area. However more data is required to fill the gaps and to ascertain accurate relationships between the pelagic fish and the environment in these tropical waters.

Among the fisheries resources, the small pelagic fish resources are considered as important in the Area from the economical viewpoint. The purpose of this paper is to provide the baseline information on the small pelagic fish resources management. This paper, therefore, describes the catch trends and major fishing gear of 19 small pelagic fish species (groups) and stock status of 9 species (groups) among them.

Landings of the eight countries of Southeast Asia bordering the South China Sea have grown from 4.1 million tonnes in 1975 to 7.2 million tonnes in 1995, or an increase of 75% in the last two decades. Increased fishing pressure in coastal areas had brought about stagnant catches of shrimp in some individual countries, while allocations of tuna fishing effort by Indonesia or neighbouring countries indicated that high fishing pressure for tuna occurred in some countries. This trend of development and the momentum arises from the current progress in the negotiation and establishment of an organization that deals with tuna resources in the Indian Ocean and the western and central Pacific, should eventually lead to the initiative of management of shared stock in the region. General requirements and steps in the management of shared stocks are described as an attempt to promote understanding among potential participating countries in this venture.
