Abstract

In 1979, the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), acting upon the advice of its Marine Science Committee, initiated a cooperative project on research and training in marine science with the Nagasaki University and the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC). Later-in May 1980-the project was named “Thai-Japanese-SEAFDEC Cooperative Survey of the Gulf of Thailand”. Two surveys have been carried out using the training ship Nagasaki-Maru. The first one took place in September 1979. Its report entitled “Preliminary results of the Thai-Japanese-SEAFDEC Joint survey on Trawling and Oceanography in the Gulf of Thailand, September to October 1979” was prepared and made available by the University.
