Giant River Prawn (Macrobrachium) :

• intensive culture is popular

•Smaller farms – 95% less than 2 ha,

•along irrigation canals

•Mainly domestic markets, sold live or frozen

•Important part of Thai food Source: Schwantes 2009

*Recently, a number of prawn farmers have converted to

culture white shrimp (vannamei)

•Shorter growing period, productivity (2-3 t/rai)

•Less disease risk

•More profitable

26Sustaining Ethical Aquaculture Trade: Kasetsart University (SEAT Partner 9)

Pangasius (Striped catfish):

• bred in captivity since 1967

•Annual production 28,000 t (2006)

•Product locally consumed

•Not much exported

•Characteristics – slow growth, yellow meat

•Introduced wild Mekong stocks

•Research areas: evaluate performance of available stocks

•Some questions:

•Why is it not popularly exported?

•Importation? Value added? Local or exported?

“Strong Thailand” strategy: ไทยเข้มแข็งimproving Tilapia production (DOF)

2010-2012: promote as a new seafood export item

Upgrade tilapia farms to int’l. standards

Increase production to 300,000 MT/yr & 50,000 MT to be exported to Japan, Europe, US, ME

Cooperation contracts (Chonburi area first)

Premium market: processed fish, fillets, tailored meat rather than raw frozen fish

SOME TRENDS:

• black tiger shrimp exports reviving (Jan 2010 Bangkok Post)

•Pangasius bocourti farm in kalasin failed ?

•Import of pangasius fillets from VN to Thailand for value

added processing - exported as Thai product?

•Imported pangasius fillets from VN available in local

supermarkets

•Government support to increase exports of shrimp & tilapia

to Europe

•SPF macrobrachium broodstock being developed by KU

•SPF monodon developed by CP

•Biosecure farming systems/green culture technologies
