During the intervening period of 24 years between the Kyoto Conference and the Bangkok Conference, aquaculture has gone through major changes in many areas, ranging from a small-scale homestead-level activity to large-scale commercial farming. Against the erstwhile perception of aquaculture as an insignificant subsistence activity, aquaculture production in some areas has, in fact, exceeded landings in capture fisheries. The Kyoto Conference adopted the Kyoto Declaration on Aquaculture that underlined the real potential for future development into a major industry. Its specific recommendations, addressed to those that were responsible for the development of the sector, covered the areas of increasing production and raising the profile of aquaculture in government development plans and private-sector investment priorities, investment and aid for aquaculture development, transfer of technologies and pilot projects, and coordination and integration of research. The Kyoto strategy was to infuse more science into traditional aquaculture practices, spread improved technologies and develop manpower through cooperation among developing countries. The strategy thus included the establishment of regional networks of aquaculture centres in developing regions to be subsequently converted into intergovernmental organizations. One of those networks was the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA).
