AQUACULTURE REVITALIZATION, 2006-2009 :

AQUACULTURE -REVITALIZATION :

Strategies:•To extent aquaculture in new potential area •To renovate and intensify abandoned aquaculture farm•To develop prospective, economic, and efficient speciesPrograme:•Aquaculture Production for export•Aquaculture for domestic consumption•Conservational aquaculture mgt

PRIORITY ACTIVITIES

• Commodities: shrimp, seaweed, grouper, tilapia, pearl oyster, crabs, ortnamental fishes, milkfish, pangasids, carps, guramy, mollusks

• Infrastuctures: development and rehabilitation• Reserved area for broodstock or natural seed• Restocking in open waters• Rehabilitation of aquaculture area• Breeding program for high quality seed• Certification of hatchery and aquaculture farm• Adaptive technology• Distribution and utilization control of inputs• Fish farmer empowerment

Pointers/guidelines for Aquaculture Planning:

• Permit review procedures: national-local-district level; large Vs small scale, data-base!

• Use of coastal resources (pond and water) for brakishwater aquaculture and mariculture-ICM

• Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Monitoring:- depends on scale of aquaculture

• Species and Site Selection- based on carrying capacity, land capability,land suitability, impacts on technology adoption and on economic scale of the area extended.

• Development, Promotion and Funding: institutional collaboration –government-private sector-research/extention work-stakeholders.

Example:CRIA-ACIAR Research Collaboration for

Aquaculture Panning Tools:

• Planning for Environmentally Sustainable Tropical Finfish Culture (FIS/2003/027)

• Land Capability Assessment and Classification for Sustainable Pond Based Brackishwater Aquaculture (FIS/2003/076)

CRIA-ACIAR project:

Pond Management Problem• Widespread pond degradation due to poor

quality soil and water• Low pond productivity• Social conflicts between coastal land and water

users• Competition for coastal resources• Environmental impacts such as soil acidification,

pollution and loss of mangroves and other habitats

Most of these problems are the result of poor site selection.

Abandoned pondsMangrove destruction

Soil acidification Over development

Many of these problems can be avoided by:• Identifying environmental and social

constraints on pond-based aquaculture• Developing simple planning tools such as

land suitability maps and land capability schemes

• Improving farm-level, site selection criteria• Improving communication between

researchers, extension officers and the aquaculture industry

Project Activities

• Collection and analysis of environmental and socio-economic data from sites in South Sulawesi and Aceh (Lampung later this year)

• Development of a coastal aquaculture classification scheme in conjunction with sea cage project

• Production of land and water suitability maps• Production of educational and other extension

materials

• Establishment of:– A National Steering Committee (NSC) in

November 2005 to coordinate extension at a National Level and to create a framework for information exchange between agencies, research team and stakeholders

– A Local Advisory Committee (LAC) in November 2006 to support research and extension in South Sulawesi.

– LAC is potential group for the establishement of Working Group of Mariculture in the provincial level.

Relationship to Other Projects

• Builds on former ACIAR project (FIS/97/22)at RICA in Maros which had focussed on remediation of degraded ponds.

• Links to ACIAR/MMAF project in Aceh (FIS/2005/009)

• Operates in parallel to Sea Cage project (FIS/2003/027)at RICA

Challenges –Aquaculture Planning

• Communication – building bridges between research and

extension/technical implementation units across a large country

– Extending technical information and planning tools to a very large industry

– working group of mariculture include brackishwater culture in each province is needed!

• Data acquisition– Useful secondary data and knowledge spread around

different agencies may be relevant and useful to the current project. Accessing data requires interagency linkages.

• Working Group in each Province:

- to participate in making better simple permit procedure

- to clarify obtaining land and water use rights

- to modify, explain Env. Impact Assessm. and monitoring

- to provide guidance selecting good sites and feasible culture species

- to strengthen the capacity and strategies of public, private institutions and stakeholders

Improving Research and Extension

• Tremendous scope to collaborate between Reseach Inst. and DGA TIUs through:– Joint research and extension activities– Data and resource sharing – Joint meetings to share ideas and review progress

and direction– Training activities for TIU staff on the application

of the planning tools– Working with TIUs to reach all areas of Indonesia

rather than limiting focus on South Sulawesi– Adaptive research
