Conclusion of the Symposium
The Symposium was organized with a two-pronged theme;
Theme 1: Fishery Resources Enhancement through Habitat Improvement and
Management;
Sub-Theme 1-1: Artificial Reef in Fishery Management
Sub-Theme 1-2: Establishment and Management of

Keynote Paper of Prof. Dr. Hiroshi
Fushimi from the Faculty of Life Science and Engineering of Fukuyama
University in Hiroshima, Japan, on Improvement of Stocking Activities. His presentation jump-started the foregoing
discussions on stock enhancement as means of sustaining the fishery resources
for human consumption. With emphasis on actual stock enhancement activities in
rural areas, his presentation also broached the concept of “Area Capability” as
means of harmonizing ecosystem health with the welfare of humans to pave the
way for enhancing the sustainability of the ecosystems and livelihoods of
people in coastal areas. After that, Dr. Yuttana Theparoonrat kindly
