Abstract

South Asian agriculture is diverse with the inherent strengths and weaknesses which is evident in all sectors including aquaculture and fisheries. There can be large variations amongst different member countries depending upon the extent of activities in aquaculture and fisheries, there are certain issues that require a regional perspective for resolving it. Even for the strongest country in terms of the resources and technologies, sometimes may require the help of the weakest and vice-versa. A sudden outbreak of disease in the region, adulteration in the quality of inputs such as fish seed and fish feed, trans-boundary challenges and many more can be cited as examples for managing the aquatic resources at the right earnest. It is imperative to learn from each other and be familiar with the regional and sub-regional networks prevalent in each country in the region which will help us in sourcing the right information. Aquaculture and fisheries are emerging sectors in the region and leads the world in the production process. The prevalent infrastructure and situations make it challenging for the smallscale fishers and aqua-famers. There is a need to establish professional and stakeholder networks which can evolve to help the fishers and aquafarmers in the South Asia region. In this introductory chapter, we are discussing some of the opportunities and challenges in aquaculture and fisheries where crosslearning and net-working can bring in better solutions for improving the fish production from the region.
