The Gulf of Thailand (GoT) is among the most productive large marine ecosystem, in which
the marine capture fisheries in GOT, within Thai territory, contributes over 65% of about 2.5 x106
tonnes of the country’s total marine production each year (Lymer et al., 2008). The fisheries in
the GoT are intensively both inshore and offshore areas and declines in fish biomasses, in quite
number of species had been observed, which raise the concern on the appropriate fisheries
managements that can be balance both economics and environmental paradigms (Ahmed et
al., 2007; Koolkalya et al., 2015; Satumanatpan and Pollnac, 2017).
