The Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA) was formed by International treaty titled Agreement on the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia and the Pacific signed in Bangkok on 8 January 1988. [1]

The purpose of the NACA is to promote rural development through sustainable aquaculture and aquatic resources management. NACA's objectives are to:

  • Improve food security.
  • Increase rural income and employment.
  • Diversify farm production.
  • Increase foreign exchange earnings.

NACA provides a networking platform for technical cooperation and capacity building between nineteen member states, their research centres, and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, which has an advisory role on the NACA Governing Council.

The NACA Secretariat is hosted by the Government of Thailand, in the Department of Fisheries compound at Kasetsart University, Bangkok.
