Aquaculture
According to the World Resources Institute, aquaculture—or fish farming—has grown rapidly to meet world fish demand, more than doubling production between 2000 and 2012. New research shows that aquaculture production will need to more than double again between now and 2050 to meet the demands of a growing population. Resources available in this sub-theme include aquaculture development strategies, country-wide aquaculture project reports, and institutional practices for aquaculture strengthening, among other resources that support improving aquaculture globally.

Socio-Economic Impact and Farmers' Assessment of Nile Tilapia Culture in Bangladesh
Published:
January 1, 1992U.S. Agency for International Development
A socioeconomic study of tilapia culture in seasonal ponds in Bangladesh indicated that these unused or under-used seasonal water bodies, most of which are actually ditches, can be beneficially used for farming tilapia. The tilapia culture technology is simple, requiring very low labor input and...Read more

South East AsiaStatus and Potential of Aquaculture in Small Water Bodies (Ponds and Ditches) in Bangladesh
Published:
January 1, 1992U.S. Agency for International Development
In 1991, a survey was made of 1,300 ponds and ditches, covering about 1,200 square meters, in Bangladesh to assess the small water bodies' potential for aquaculture. Almost half of the small water bodies were individually owned and operated; the remainder, covering 70% of the examined water...Read more

South East AsiaManaging Fertilizers for Fish Yield in Tropical Ponds in Asia
Published:
December 1, 1991U.S. Agency for International Development
The purpose of this work was to develop a strategy for fertilizer application that improved predictions of yields. Pond productivity was analyzed relative to supplies of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), dissolved inorganic nitrogen, and dissolved reactive phosphorus. Phosphorus did not limit pond...Read more

South East AsiaFinal Report, 1985 to 1989: Propagation of Mahseers in Himalayan Waters of Nepal
Published:
January 1, 1989U.S. Agency for International Development
In recent years, various investigators have given considerable attention to the propagation of seriously endangered mahseer in the Himalayan waters (Badola and Singh 1984, Shrestha 1986, 1988, 1990, Nautial and Lal 1988, Das 1990). They have been prompted by several considerations among them are: (...Read more

Nepal, South East AsiaRole of Irrigation in the Agricultural Development of Asia
Published:
August 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
Throughout Asia, irrigation has been the lead input in growth of cereal yield. In the 13 Asian nations included for analysis, all of the countries appear to lie on virtually the same irrigation/ fertilizer/HYV production function. Many observers believe that improved efficiency of water use through...Read more

South East AsiaCommunity Participation in Irrigation Management: Case Study of Solma Irrigation Project in East Nepal
Published:
August 1, 1987U.S. Agency for International Development, Winrock International
This report covers hill irrigation in Nepal. Nepal has a high ratio of people to cultivable land. The mountainous terrain forces farmers to use marginal lands on steep slopes that are difficult to irrigate, and yet an increasing population demands intensive farming method, for which irrigation is a...Read more
