Status on Underutilized Fish and
Marine Genetic Resources in Thailand
Anyanee Yamrungrueng
Department of Fisheries, Thailand1
Thailand
• It is bordered by
• Myanmar on the north and west,
• Laos on the north-east,
• Cambodia and the Gulf of Thailand on
the south-east,
• Malaysia on the south
• The Andaman Sea and Myanmar on the
south-west.
Source: the Nations Online Project.
• A Kingdom in Southeast Asia, is divided into
77 provinces, covers an area of 513,120 km2
.
• Thailand has a monsoon climate with
• a wet season (90 percent of the annual rainfall)
from April to September during the south-west
monsoon
• a dry season from October to May with dry
continental northerly winds (north-east monsoon).2
The fisheries in Thailand
• “fishing operations using a fishing
vessel of a size from 10 gross
tonnage or with an engine of a
horse power as prescribed by the
Minister, or using a fishing vessel
with or utilizing fishing gears of the
types, methods, the number of
workers used, or natures of fishing
as prescribed by the Minister”
Artisanal fisheries
• “fishing operations in coastal
seas in which a fishing vessel is
used or in which a fishing gear is
used without a fishing vessel,
but in any case, does not include
commercial fishing”

Importance of FMGR in economy and food security
Production and consumption
• A total number of 40,688 fishing vessels caught 1.34 million
tonnes.
• fish constitutes a generally affordable source of protein,
contributing significantly to dietary health and food security,
particularly the more than 2,500 villages of artisanal fishing
communities along the coasts.
• The consumption rate per capita is 42 kg/year.

Challenges and opportunities
• to keep the fishing effort not
exceed the fishing effort at MSY
level is the main challenge to
prevent overfishing.
Prevent
overfishing
• level of utilization is not clearly
studied and there is an
opportunity to increase their catch
if the study shows that they are
underutilized.

Strategies adopted to harness potential of underutilized FMGR
• Marine Fisheries Management Plan (FMP) has been used as a framework for
marine fisheries management.
• FMP recognizes the significant of managing the fisheries resources sustainably
and details what actions and management measures are required.
• Fishing license issuance is based on reference point.
• Currently, maximum sustainable yield (MSY) is used as a reference point.
• Once MSY assessment is finalized, total allowable catch (TAC) will be
determined and allocated to each single vessel.
• Catch and number of fishing day is specified in each fishing license.
Therefore, all fisheries resources are assessed in order to obtain
a reference point for fishing license issuance.
16
Major focus areas for underutilized FMGR
The priority of harvesting underutilized FMGR is given to
transboundary species which migrate in the Gulf of Thailand
(South China Sea) or the Andaman Sea, e.g. neritic tunas.
Several studies on these species need to be conducted in
order to discover migratory pattern, biology, stock status,
etc. Then, utilization and management strategy can be taken
place based on best scientific evidence.
17
Infrastructure, capacity building and financial investment
 6 Research Centers under MFRDD, DOF, collect the fisheries data
from fishing ports based on monthly basis.
 Data is submitted to the Fisheries Resource Assessment Group,
MFRDD to analyze and assess MSY.
 In addition, workshops related to data collection and analysis and
MSY assessment are conducted every year.
18
Total annual budget for these activities is around 172,000USD.
Future thrusts
The Department of Fisheries conducts stock assessment in Thai
waters every year in order to monitor fisheries resources status.
DOF is working with the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development
Center (SEAFDEC) and ASEAN countries to study some
transboundary species.
DOF has launched the Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP) for
Longtail Tuna in the Gulf of Thailand, which is highly migratory
species, including the study on distribution and stock assessment.
19
Conclusions
Fisheries
resource
• Recent stock assessment, in 2018,
revealed that demersal fish and pelagic
fish are fully utilized while anchovy is
underutilized. However, the utilization of
anchovy resource should consider their
ecosystem function and effect of anchovy
fisheries on the marine ecosystem.
Transboundary
species
• Cooperative study in the region on
their migratory pattern, biology, and
stock status are needed prior to
determining utilization and
management strategy.

  • 16. Strategies adopted to harness potential of underutilized FMGR • Marine Fisheries Management Plan (FMP) has been used as a framework for marine fisheries management. • FMP recognizes the significant of managing the fisheries resources sustainably and details what actions and management measures are required. • Fishing license issuance is based on reference point. • Currently, maximum sustainable yield (MSY) is used as a reference point. • Once MSY assessment is finalized, total allowable catch (TAC) will be determined and allocated to each single vessel. • Catch and number of fishing day is specified in each fishing license. Therefore, all fisheries resources are assessed in order to obtain a reference point for fishing license issuance. 16
  • 17. Major focus areas for underutilized FMGR The priority of harvesting underutilized FMGR is given to transboundary species which migrate in the Gulf of Thailand (South China Sea) or the Andaman Sea, e.g. neritic tunas. Several studies on these species need to be conducted in order to discover migratory pattern, biology, stock status, etc. Then, utilization and management strategy can be taken place based on best scientific evidence. 17
  • 18. Infrastructure, capacity building and financial investment  6 Research Centers under MFRDD, DOF, collect the fisheries data from fishing ports based on monthly basis.  Data is submitted to the Fisheries Resource Assessment Group, MFRDD to analyze and assess MSY.  In addition, workshops related to data collection and analysis and MSY assessment are conducted every year. 18 Total annual budget for these activities is around 172,000USD.
  • 19. Future thrusts The Department of Fisheries conducts stock assessment in Thai waters every year in order to monitor fisheries resources status. DOF is working with the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) and ASEAN countries to study some transboundary species. DOF has launched the Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP) for Longtail Tuna in the Gulf of Thailand, which is highly migratory species, including the study on distribution and stock assessment. 19
  • 20. Conclusions Fisheries resource • Recent stock assessment, in 2018, revealed that demersal fish and pelagic fish are fully utilized while anchovy is underutilized. However, the utilization of anchovy resource should consider their ecosystem function and effect of anchovy fisheries on the marine ecosystem. Transboundary species • Cooperative study in the region on their migratory pattern, biology, and stock status are needed prior to determining utilization and management strategy. 20
