Excerpt

It has been 50 years now since the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) established its Aquaculture Department (AQD) with the long-term goal of conducting research, developing technologies, disseminating information, and training people in the farming of fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, and seaweeds for food, livelihood, equity and sustainable development. The AQD’s mother organization, the SEAFDEC, is an autonomous inter-governmental body established six years earlier, in 1967. Its member countries include Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. It has been based in Tigbauan, Iloilo since its inception.
