Aquaculture in south east Asia - mutual benefits
FARM ANIMAL AND VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH RICHARD WHITTINGTON
Aquaculture
Population 2014 6 billion 2030 9 billion
Fish 16.6% global
protein intake from animals
Urgency: meet seafood demand in an environmentally and economically sustainable way
Many types of farmed “fish”
›!Finfish ›!Shell fish
›!Crustaceans
›!Others
Seafood and developing countries
›!High nutritional value -! low saturated fats
-! low carbohydrates
-! high value protein
-! high micronutrients - vitamins, minerals, polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids
›! Small quantities can be effective in addressing food and nutritional security among the poor and vulnerable populations
›!Cash crop for small holders
›! Export potential

Drivers and constraints for aquaculture
Drivers
›! Increasing demand
›! Fish are a traditional food
›!Wild harvest peaked years ago
›! Familiarity with fish culture
›! Technological innovation
›!Government support
Constraints
›! Feed – unreliable, unsustainable
›!Disease – 50% loss
›! Environment – sustainable
›!Market access – food safety to have secure export markets
›! Insufficient supply of “Seed”
›!Climate and weather
Australia’s overseas aid program through ACIAR addresses constraints identified in each country
Benefits for Australia
1.! Poverty alleviation: promoting increasing prosperity and stability in our region 2.! Biosecurity awareness: engagement in emerging issues 3.! Applying technology: testing technical applications at broad scale in a range of
environments 4.! Product development: access to a large industry to innovate e.g. vaccines. 5.! Additional funding for research on issues of direct relevance to Australia 6.! Research on shared resources, leading to bilateral agreements for sustainable
harvest 7.! Work on issues of relevance to Australia that are not yet present here (eg diseases) 8.! Capacity building and professional development of mid-career scientists through
knowledge transfer, development of leadership and project management skills 9.! Improving communication and extension skills and understanding how knowledge
transfer occurs 10.! Personal networks in trade and resource management 11.! Market awareness 12.! Improving Australia’s reputation in the region
