FAO Project “Strengthening capacities, policies and national action plans on prudent and responsible use of antimicrobials in fisheries: Workshop 2”
7-9 August 2017 Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Background
The FAO Aquatic AMR Project (FMM/RAS/298): Strengthening capacities, policies and national action plans on prudent and responsible use of antimicrobials in fisheries, has the objective of providing technical assistance to selected countries (China, Malaysia, the Philippines and Viet Nam) in strengthening capacities, policies and national actions plans on prudent and responsible use of antimicrobials in the aquaculture sector. This will be achieved through the following: (i) documentation of AMU in aquaculture through antimicrobial use (AMU) and possibly antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance and other relevant informal survey; (ii) enhancing capacities on prudent use of antimicrobials and good biosecurity and husbandry best practices; and (iii) promoting advocacy, communication and education activities. These actions could lead to policy support towards AMR prevention.
At the end of project implementation, it is expected that knowledge, skills and capacity will be enhanced and implementation of policies and development of national action plans on prudent and responsible use of antimicrobials of Competent Authorities (fisheries and aquaculture, animal health) will be in place. The aquaculture component of the National Action Plan (NAP) on AMR will be initiated within the context of the FAO Global Action Plan on AMR and the One Health approach and coherent with AMR Tripartite (FAO/OIE/WHO) arrangements.
AMR in aquaculture was highlighted during the 8th session of the Sub-Committee on Aquaculture (SCA8) of FAO’s Committtee on Fisheries (COFI); it is a new area of work emphasis of the Aquaculture Branch of FAO’s Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture.
The first workshop was successfully held in Mangalore, India from 10 to 12 April 2017 and hosted by Nitte University. The four workshop sessions tackled the following:
Session 1: history, background and current focussed attention on AMR, principles and concepts, past and ongoing efforts, as basis for better understanding of AMU and AMR Session 2: country information on aquaculture health, AMU and AMR and status of AMR National Action Plans Session 3: AMU and AMR surveillance country experiences, model example, information requirements and limitations and guidance in the development of NAP on AMR Session 4: Working Group discussions on:
Development of the aquaculture component of the NAP on AMR

AMU/AMR surveillance AMR monitoring Guidance on Best Practice in Aquaculture
Workshop 1 achieved its objectives of enhancing and better understanding of AMU and AMR in the aquatic sector and country-specific situations as basis for developing the sector-specific design of AMU survey and AMR monitoring and surveillance mechanisms and guidance in the development of the aquatic component of the NAP on AMR. Intersessional activities being done by countries include AMU/AMR surveillance and further development of the NAP on AMR in consultation with relevant national authorities. FAO Project “Strengthening capacities, policies and national action plans on prudent and responsible use of antimicrobials in fisheries: Workshop 2”. This second project workshop will be held from 7-9 August 2017 in Malaysia in cooperation with Malaysia’s Department of Fisheries and INFOFISH. Purpose. The objectives of Workshop 2 are to:
1. provide update on the progress of AMU and AMR surveys and status of National Action Plans on AMR
2. gain further knowledge on best practices in diagnostics, AMU and other good aquaculture biosecurity practices at different levels and continuing education on AMU/AMR
3. develop training modules on good aquaculture and biosecurity practices (for selected species) and prudent use of antimicrobials for stakeholders
4. to develop guidance on antimicrobial susceptibility testing for selected species (e.g. carps, tilapia, shrimp)
Process: The workshop will be held for 3 days. There will be 6 sessions during the workshop: Session 1: Country progress report: National planning and consultations on the
development of the aquaculture component of country National Action Plans (NAPs) on AMR
Session 2: Country progress report: AMU/AMR surveillance Session 3: Best practices on diagnostics and the use of antimicrobials (AMU) Session 4: Working Group discussions and presentations: Guidance on best practices on
the use of antimicrobials in selected aquaculture species; Training modules on good aquaculture and biosecurity practices (for selected species); Guidance on antimicrobial susceptibility testing for selected species (e.g. carps, tilapia, shrimp)
Session 5: Continuing education on AMU/AMR Session 6: Finalise plans for the last workshop, intersessional country level activities and
project documentation outputs and way forward.
Participation: The workshop will be participated two delegates from the 4 project countries (i.e. China, Malaysia, the Philippine, Viet Nam), invited resource experts and FAO officers. Project

proponents of the FAO project (OSRO/RAS/502/USA): Addressing Antimicrobial Usage in Asia’s Livestock, Aquaculture and Crop Production Systems, subproject: Documentation and characterizing antimicrobial use in the aquaculture sector being implemented by the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA) will also be participating in this workshop. In addition, a limited number of interested stakeholders from Malaysia are welcome to participate on a self-funding basis. Products. The following are the expected outputs of the workshop: (1) Preliminary results of the survey on AMU and AMR; (2) Progress reports of the national planning and consultations on the development of the aquaculture component of country NAPs on AMR; (3) Compilation of best practices (good aquaculture and aquatic animal health/biosecurity practices); (4) Training module on best practices (for selected species) and prudent use of antimicrobials for farmers; (5) Intersessional activities from Workshop 2 to final Workshop (November 2017); and (6) Workshop Report.
