Disgruntled officials of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center here have denounced the alleged maneuvers of the Japanese government to "shrewdly" control this international institute in a bid to maintain a cheap and steady source for Japan's rapidly-increasing fish requirement. They charged that scientists-consultants of the Japan International Cooperation Agency assigned here at the aquaculture department - Seafdec's main station in Asia - are tightly controlling Japanese fund donations and equipment grants to ensure the implementation of their favored research projects.
