INTRODUCTION

The establishment of Rakan Akuakultur UMS under the BMRI was officially launched on 15 June 2015 by Datuk Seri Panglima Yahya Hussin, Deputy Chief Minister cum Sabah Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry.  This establishment is consistent with the spirit of the National Education Blueprint 2013-2025, especially in knowledge empowerment of the community.

Our institute has been working with the local communities through training, dialogue and stock enhancement of fisheries resources. The positive feedbacks we have been receiving motivated us to develop a platform that we have termed as Rakan Akuakultur UMS. The exchange of knowledge that will take place through a sustained program of interaction will help us better understand the practical problems, limitations of traditional knowledge and relevance of scientific knowledge. It will help us shape the nature of research which is of direct benefit to the fish farming community.

Hopefully, benefits of collaboration among scientists and farmers will popularize knowledge-based fish farming which will help in transitioning of small-scale enterprises into medium-scale enterprises and lead the latter to grow further.  Academics will also gain by way of getting insights into traditional practices, and be able to appreciate their compatibility with the environment, and incorporate some elements into sustainable farming systems.
