In experimental stations and research laboratories in countries in Asia and the Pacific, scientists are continuously investigating ways of further developing fisheries or aquaculture technologies to boost the region's economies as well as provide its burgeoning population's food requirements. But considering the vastness of this part of the world, it is possible that research being conducted in one country is the same as that being done in another. Reason is that scientists remain unaware of activities in nearby nations or even within their own country.
