dc.descriptionAquaculture has been practised in Thailand for many years. It is, however, only in the last few years that it has undergone rapid advancement. The principal reasons for the increased interest and development of fish farming are due to the recent advances in the development of culture techniques in the world particularly in the field of husbandry and management of culture systems and the development of standardised artificial breeding technologies such that the supply of seeds are guaranteed and controlled by the fish farmers themselves. Also important are the efforts of the Thai Government in promoting and aiding the aquaculture programmes. Farmers are now presented with alternatives of turning their rice fields and waste-land, such as swamps and ditches, into fish ponds. Fishermen and trawlermen, unemployed as a result of the overfishing of the stocks in the Gulf of Thailand, are encouraged to turn to aquaculture as a means of reducing unemployment and as part of the national developm ent programme.
