Growing Demand of Seafood

Demand of top-grade aquatic products can be expected to continue to increase over the next 20 years or so.
This growth will be driven by: The 3 billion of middle-income consumers in the Asia Pacific Rapid Urbanization Depending on assumption, projected global demand for seafood is between 138 million M.T to 159 million M.T by 2025.

Aquaculture production would then need to be between 74 and 100 million M.T BY 2025.

The Importance of Fisheries Sub-sector in Malaysia

Food fish production in 2012 was 1.77 million tones (RM10.7 billion) Contribution to National GDP 1.3%, 12.5% Agriculture GDP 109,091 employment (105,891 fishermen)

Contribution to Agro-food Balance of Trade (deficit -RM252 million)

377 million pcs. (RM629 million) ornamental fish

Characteristics of Fish Production in Malaysia

Marine capture fisheries constitute 82.7 % of Malaysias fish production valued at RM7.9 billion Coastal fisheries is major contributor (63.8%) at maximum sustainable level of exploitation Production from deep sea fisheries sector in the EEZ still expanding

High emphasis by Govt. of Malaysia to develop fisheries sector Main focus to increase fish production to support increasing demand for fish: i. Aquaculture development
ii. Fishing in international waters

Aquaculture Production in 2012 was tones (RM3.7 billion) Under the 10th Malaysia Plan aquaculture is identified as one of the thrust areas. Projected production in the year 2015 is 727,300 tones (RM7 billion).

The Roles of Aquaculture in Food-fish Production

National food security (protein supply), Aquaculture amongst the National Key Economic Area, Lessen pressure on capture fisheries, Generate foreign exchange earnings, Provide employment & career development, Diversify /alternative income to fishermen & farmers, Provide business & investment opportunity.

Marine Finfish Seed Production

More than 16 Species of Marine Finfish are successfully bred in Malaysia (Coral trout, mouse grouper, Hybrid grouper, Pompano and others). Seabass and snappers fingerlings are produced commercially and provides self sufficiency. Dependence on imported grouper and pompano fingerlings mainly from Indonesia and Taiwan is still prevalent. Seed production systems have improved considerably from traditional pond based system to tank system and most recently the Recirculating Aquaculture System

The Role of Department of Fisheries

Aquaculture Industrial Zones (AIZ)
Aquaculture Industrial Zones (AIZ) are designated zones for both lands and water bodies which are granted by the state government for commercial scale aquaculture projects. At present there are 49 sites covering more than 28,000 hectares. The Federal Governments contribution in developing these areas is to provide: Macro planning Infrastructure Grant Technical support
