Toward Systematic Breeding of Asian Sea Bass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch, 1790), in Malaysia: Status, Challenges and Prospects for Future Development

Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch, 1790), is one of the most farmed marine fish in Malaysia since the 1970 s and is predominantly cultured at present.Although it has been farmed for some time, there is no systematic breeding programme in place.Local hatcheries rely heavily on wild and imported broodstock.However, imported stocks do not guarantee improved quality and even increase the chances of introducing pathogens into the country.

[AFSSRN] Book of Abstracts on Fisheries Social Science Research
29 Feb, 2024

Dear AFS Members,

Greetings of peace and prosperity!

In its first quarterly meeting this year held via Zoom last 13 January 2023, the AFSSRN Executive Committee approved the publication of a “Book of Abstracts on Fisheries Social Science Research" which will be a compilation of the scholarly researches that AFSSRN members have recently completed (i.e., from 2018 to 2023) and/or on-going but with preliminary results. If your paper has been published, please include the link where the full paper can be downloaded.

Our objective is to keep us informed of the various areas of interest and specialization of each one, which may open opportunities for networking, partnerships and collaboration. We also seek to apprise scholars from other disciplines as to the role of the social sciences and what social scientists can contribute in knowledge generation and translation as we all advocate for sustainable fisheries and aquaculture sector. Moreover, this is our effort to promote our advocacy for the inclusion of the social sciences dimension in fisheries technologies, curriculum/instruction, research, extension and policy making, among others.

This letter serves as an invitation for you to share and contribute your research abstract(s) for this AFSSRN publication. As a valued AFSSRN member, we recognize the works that you do and we encourage you to bring this to a wider audience through the said publication.

Please click this link for your submission. Your response on or before 30 April 2024 will be highly appreciated. For queries, please send an email to afssrn.section@gmail.com.

Thank you for your utmost support to this AFSSRN project which we intend to release before the year 2024 ends.
