The Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia and the Pacific Region (NACA) was established under the auspices of UNDP/FAO with the specific function to develop and organize training courses for developing a core group of senior aquaculturists needed for planning and implementing aquaculture research and development programmes in the countries of the region. NACA has four regional lead centres in Asia, namely: China, India, Thailand and the Philippines. The Aquaculture Department of Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) in Tigbauan, Iloilo, Philippines has been identified as the lead centre for NACA in the Philippines (RLCP) which also serves as the headquarters for training of senior aquaculturists of the region.
