Abstract: Capture fisheries are declining in Myanmar. Yet 60 percent of the animal-source food in the country is still fish. To meet the growing demand for fish, aquaculture production has been increasing. In doing so, it is essential that Myanmar develops a sustainable aquaculture industry that minimizes potential environmental impacts and ensures aquaculture practices are socially acceptable and economically sound. To this end, a survey was undertaken to 1.To verify and observe that Small Scale Aquaculture (SSA) farmers from the project area are using better management practices (BMPs) in an aquaculture system. 2. To promote BMPs among SSA farmers and assess for any difficulties in applying them. This report presents the survey results.
