2009 Crawford Fund Derek Tribe Award
Through his personal research, research leadership and vigorous promotion of small-scale hatchery technology for milkfish and grouper, Professor Sugama has driven the rapid adoption of sustainable mariculture in several parts of Indonesia and lifted thousands of poor farmers out of poverty.
His research results have been adopted internationally, and have led to increased sustainability of mariculture through the increased production of grouper fingerlings in many countries, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
The work is also relevant to Australia where aquaculture centers in Queensland use hatchery techniques directly based on those developed by Prof Sugama.
His dedication has supported the establishment of an agricultural sub-sector that will provide long-term benefits within Indonesia, as well as globally, the Crawford Fund says.
