First Stage Report of SEAFDEC-FAO Energy Audits
Thanasarnsakorn, Suthipong; Thimkrap, Thaweesak; Manomayithikan, Khunthawat
All Thai commercial trawlers depend on diesel oil. To indentify techniques of saving fuel and reducing expense the first project on energy audit was developed under cooperative working among Food and Agriculture Organization for funding supporter and South East Asian Fisheries Development Centre/ Training Department for auditing operator. The audit process exposed to find conditional values concerning fuel consumption of trawl fishing vessels. Fuel consumption profiles of six trawlers were created for estimating their consumption rate at various engine revolutions. A method is to save fuel by reducing ship speed two knots contributing to decrease fuel consumption rate at 50 % of W. Yingcharoen and 52.3 % of Choknimitr. In addition to consideration of fuel consumption rate, earning per fuel consumption is also important parameter. The audit results reported that W. Yingcharoen trawler consumes the highest total fuel consumption but it has the better revenue per fuel consumption, 72.5 THB/litter. The ship fuel consumption results from energy audit project provide for fishers to understand for monitoring trawler at optimum level during fishing operation contributing to decrease fuel cost.

Promotion on Earthworm Culture as Other Alternative Livelihood for Small-scale Fishers
Phusirimongkol, Krit
With due to insufficient income of small scale fishers who depend their earning on the fishing activities. In many cases that, those fishers be encouraged to increase income from the responsible fisheries while the fishery resources still need some period to recover, which is take time. So instead of just let fishers suffer from the in sufficient income we can look and promote others alternative livelihood even if some of them might not directly relates to the exactly fishing activity.
Ideally, the promotion of earthworms’ culture can be other alternative livelihood for fisherman to increase their income. Earthworm culture is simple, low cost investment and can get good profit from each crop. Nowadays, many fishery sectors looking for earthworm: in case of hook and line fishing, earthworm can be used as bait. Especially case of ornamental fish aquaculture, earthworm is used for feeding; this is because earthworm is rich of protein and stimulant the bright color of the ornamental fish. Earthward can be culture in form of household’s business.
As some of students from Tinsulanonda Fisheries College who are trained at TD during 7 October 2014 to 20 February 2015 are from fisheries family, some of their parents depend their life only on the fishing activity as mentioned above, so that the idea in promotion of earthworm culture is applied to this student group as trial campaign. With intention to equip this kind of alternative livelihood to them and this idea will be much more useful if the students can transfer the knowledge and skill of earthward culture to their family which object to increase their family’s income and improve their well being in afterward.

Household Livelihood Survey of Coastal Fishing Communities in Thailand
Tiaye, Rattana
The Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) start a cooperative research project named “Coastal capability enhancement in Southeast Asia (CA)” in corporation with the SEAFDEC, EMDEC, Kasetsart University, and other related institutions/organizations. The CA Project composes of 6 components to study and develop the concept on “Area Capability” that can show how the ecosystem health can be harmonized with the welfare of the people who are directly and indirectly depend on the coastal fisheries resources. The household livelihood survey in coastal area is one part of the CA Project. This survey was therefore conducted in order to collect the baseline information of the fishing communities as well as to identify the status and structure of household livelihood in coastal area of Thailand. The sites of the survey are Rayong, Prachuap Khiri Khan and Chumphon Provinces. The household survey started from 2013 until 2014 by using the questionnaire that was developed and agreed by Socio-economic Section of SEAFDEC and RIHN. In 2015, social team is going to analyze the fishing household datasets.
