Survey Report on Demersal Fishery Resources Living in Un-trawlable Area in Rakhine fishing Ground of Myanmar Using Bottom Vertical Longling
抄録
Since 2006, SEAFDEC had conducted Demersal Fishery Resources Living in Untrawlable
Fishing Grounds in Southeast Asian Waters using MV.SEAFDEC2 and using other
research vessels in collaboration with the Member Countries. This aims to evaluate on the
potential resources of economically important species in the un‐trawl able areas. The survey
areas will be focused in the EEZ of member countries and/or trans‐bordering areas
particularly in the un‐trawlable fishing grounds.
Rakhine fishing ground of Myanmar is one of the target survey areas where still
lacking information considering an un‐trawlable fishing area. It characteristic is a narrow
continental shelf with the rocky area. It is therefore not suitable for trawling but there is still
a possibility for other fishing gear such as bottom vertical longline. It is envisaged that the
survey result will be analyzed together with the data collected from other un‐trawlable
areas in the region.
