9.2.1.4 International and National Initiatives to control introductions

It should be recognised that aquaculture is the last frontier for food fish production. Species introductions will remain a valid means to improve production and economic benefits from aquaculture and fisheries. Various international, regional, and national institutes have been established to address the issue of species introductions. They are as below:

  1. World Trade Organization (WTO)
  2. World Organization for Animal Health (OIE)
  3. International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES)
  4. FAO of the United Nations (Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries)
  5. Regional Initiatives (NACA/SEAFDEC/ASEAN)
