There are two activities under this component namely, Activity 4.1 “Activity 4.1: Survey of chloramphenicol and nitrofuran in Southeast Asian fish and fish products “ and Activity 4.2
“Regional training course in seafood safety for laboratory personnel”.
The Thirtieth Meeting of the SEAFDEC Program Committee, 26-28 November 2007
In Activity 4.1, a survey on the levels of chloramphenicol and nitrofuran will be conducted on fish and fish products from the region. Various participating regional laboratories will conduct a survey each in their respective countries. In the Mid-term Review Meeting held in 2007, the meeting recommended that Malachite Green and leuco-Malachite Green should be included in the survey. The Meeting also agreed to obtain the samples from processing plants. The results of the activities will be deposited in the database of the Fish and Fish Products Safety Information Network.
The activity 4.2 was initiated after the 1st Planning Meeting for Japanese Trust Fund IV Projects held on 14-16 December 2004 in Singapore. The Meeting agreed that there is a need to train the laboratory personnel on the analysis of antibiotics especially the detection of prohibited drugs such as chloramphenicol and nitrofuran used in aquaculture farms. The training is essential for those analyses that require sophisticated instruments such as the Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) for detection and determination. Through this regional training course, member countries can share experience and their methods to analyze certain drugs. This will facilitate the study on the withdrawal period of antibiotics used in aquaculture shrimps and fish. As discussed in the Mid-term Review Meeting, Vietnam National Fisheries Quality Assurance & Veterinary Directorate (NAFIQAVED) and MFRD would co- organized this training and an expert from laboratory would be invited to be the trainer for the 3 methods namely Chloramphenicol, Nitrofuran and Malachite Green using Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) method.
New Activities
In 2006, MFRD proposed to hold the JTF II Mid-Term Review Meeting in Singapore under Activity 5.1 (New). The objectives of this meeting were to announce the change of project title as well as the scope of the project to exclude the aquaculture component and to update on the progress of all activities. In 2007, MFRD propose 2 new activities, namely, Activity 5
“Publication of Report” and Activity 6 “End-of-Activity Seminar”. The final results and reports of all SEAFEC member countries would be published and distributed under Activity 5. In Activity 6, MFRD will hold the End-of-Activity Seminar in October/November 2008. It is envisaged that all key project leaders will be invited to attend this 3-day meeting. The meeting will report on the project since the implementation in 2004, identify the challenges faced in the implementation of the project, and deliberate the future plans.
3. PROGRESS OF ACTIVITIES IN THE YEAR 2007
MFRD conducted six activities under this program in 2007 namely, four regional surveys on heavy metals, pesticide residues, histamine and drug residues (chloramphenicol and nitrofuran) under Activity 1.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 4.1 respectively, one regional workshop and one Mid-Term Review Meeting (Activity 4.2 and 5.1 respectively).
For the regional surveys on heavy metals, pesticide residues, histamine, chloramphenicol and nitrofuran under Activities 1.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 4.1 respectively, the participating countries and the fish species and fish products surveyed are as listed in Table 1 below.
The Activity 4.2 “Regional Workshop in Seafood Safety for Laboratory Personnel” was successfully conducted in Singapore from 2 –5 Oct 2007. The Workshop was jointly conducted by MFRD and the National Fisheries Quality Assurance & Veterinary Directorate (NAFIQAVED). A total of 8 participants from Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam attended the Workshop. Mr Nguyen Anh Dung from Vietnam shared his valuable experience and covered methods including Chloramphenicol, Nitrofuran and Malachite Green Analysis using Liquid-Chromatography Mass-Spectrometer- Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) during the Workshop.

The Activity 5.1 “JTF II Mid-Term Review Meeting” was successfully conducted in Singapore from 7 – 9 Mar 2007. The objectives of this meeting were to announce the change of project title as well as the scope of the project to exclude the aquaculture component and to update on the progress of all activities. A total of 20 participants from SEAFDEC member countries, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam attended the meeting. The meeting clarified the project scope, the sampling methods and training requirements. The administrative report of the meeting was circulated to the participants on 28 March 2007.
