Myanmar Fishery & Livestock Online - Myanmar, a member of ASEAN has a long coastline of 2832 kilometers. The total area of swamps along the coast is about 0.5 million hectares which provides a very good base for the development of aquaculture including shrimp and prawn culture. According to surveys in marine fisheries, the Maximum Sustainable Yield of Myanmar is estimated at about 1.05 million tons per year, out of which one million ton was exploited last year. Inland water bodies such as natural lakes, reservoirs, river systems etc. cover an area of about 8.2 million hectares. At present, flood fisheries produce about seventy thousand tons of fish and prawn annually. To satisfy increasing demands, aquaculture, and to a lesser extent, inland fisheries will provide better opportunities for increasing Myanmar's fish production.
