1997
Siri Tookwinas | Kristipon Youngvanisset (Department of Fisheries, Bangkok (Thailand))
Oyster culture was introduced in 1960 in the coastal zone of Ban Kadaji, Ban Don Bay, Surajthani, southern Thailand. More widespread mollusc culture was promoted in 1991 by the Department of Fisheries. It was part of an Integrated Coastal Zone Management plan which encouraged the villagers to work more with cockle culture and harvesting. A coastal aquaculture co-operative was formed. At present, mollusc culture and gill net are the main sources of income of the villagers. Cockle culture, oyster culture, shrimp sulture, gill net, and trap fishing are done in Ban Kakaji by 60, 120, 10, 10, and 112 families respectively.
