(Updated April 2008)
Under the ASEAN‐SEAFDEC program on the Deep Sea Fisheries Resources Exploration in the Southeast Asian Waters has been implemented since 2007. The main objectives are to support member countries for better understanding on the existing deep sea fisheries resources in their jurisdiction waters in addition methodology of research works including deep sea samplings techniques. Literature reviews on the deep sea fisheries resources in the Southeast Asian waters is one of the preliminary works ein order to check the species composition of all fauna xisting in the deep sea areas in the EEZ of member countries.
Based on the existing information such as the deep sea fisheries resources survey in the west coast of Sumatra and Java, Indonesia by RCCF in cooperation with OFCF/Japan and the fisheries resources on the continental slopes in the Andaman Sea by DOF/Thailand in the past 30 years ago, many fauna species particularly fishes and shrimps found from the surveys were listed in this paper. Updated data will be made every y eear to include various deep sea areas and new sp cies which will be found from the survey by SEAFDEC research vessels.
ll of 110 Families of the deep sea species are listed compiling from various documents.
