Resumo: 	This conference was the second step of a long development process launched in Kyoto, in 1976, first trial to estimate the potential of aquaculture, recent but promising activity. Progress made by aquaculture have stressed F AO to organise an overview of this activity with an ambitious goal: to establish the frame of a sustainable development for the next 25 years. For that purpose, FAO, supported by NACA network welcomed 600 scientists from 72 countries during 5 days in Bangkok in order to screen all aspects of aquaculture development: legal frame, scientitic research, technical transfer, extension services, education &amp;  training, socio-economics, etc. The conference was managed as a FAO workshop: keynote speeches, specialised sessions concluding in recommandations collected in a final declaration. From a conceptual point ofview, this conference presents two deticiencies: 1. Lack of critical analysis of Kyoto recommandations: 25 years later, it should had been profitable to assess the declaration of this tirst conference: analysis of the relevancy of the main recommandations, listing of underestimated or forgotten topics (genetics, environment, global coastal management..), checking of production estimations by group of species and main regions. This useful work had never been asked, nor cited. 2. Lack of screening of the main parameters which wiu determine the constraints and the potential of aquaculture for the ned 25 years. lnasmuch the general objective of this conference was to draw a prospective view of aquaculture, it seems to be necessary to take into account the evolution of all determining factors which could have a significant impact on the future of aquaculture: global climate change (warming,  nstability, ... ), technological gap between North and South, scarcity of fresh water in an increasing number of countries, failure of aquaculture development in Africa although demographics are not managed, lack of laws and regulations at the international scale, low level of investments and research in coastal management, etc. Facing those issues, the final recommandations of Bangkok show to be theoritical, conventionnaL and shortsighted. Therefore, the conference work, which was huge, led to FAO-type c1assical recommandations, accounting mainly current constraints: importance of teaching and training, need of multidisciplinary approach of problems and projects, priority to environment sustainability, etc. New aspects have been also considered in the final declaration: usefulness of information networks and specialised databanks, identification of sustainibility indicators, codes of conduct, priority to prevention in pathology, principle of precaution, importance and vulnerability of the coastal area ... Those recommandations were elaborated in the general optimistic view of aquaculture development as if the production, value and consumption trends should remain steadily increasing for 25 years: 60 millions T. in 2005 (World Bank), 185 Millions T. in 2025 (De Senna). The conference underlined the emergence of three new important groups of stakeholders: the regional organisations (European Union, Asean, regional Commissions ... ), the networks, like Naca, FishBase, InfoFish or Sipam, and the producers associations or scientific societies which have now a capacity to undertake operation al and updated synthesis or reviews for of decision-makers at various levels (Was, Eas, Feap,  astFish, etc). Ifremer, thanks to its experience and its broad range of expertise and research skills, has a c1ear interest to play a major role in those general studies, proposais and partnerships. This involvement is all the more necessary because development management requires a greatercapacity of synthesis and anticipation as we already know that the global context of this development will be more and more competitive, « hot » and unstable.
