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.

A Yield Model for Walking Catfish Production in Aquaculture Systems
Published:
January 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
A yield model for walking catfish was produced using a combination of laboratory data and field data from culture in Thailand. The model was used for simulations to fulfil three objectives: to consolidate knowledge of fish physiology and aquaculture practices, to determine sensitivity of...Read more

Triennial Review of the Title XII Fisheries Stock Assessment Collaborative Research Support Program
Published:
January 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
The fisheries management problems of developing countries are exacerbated by the lack of suitable stock assessment techniques. Most stock assessment techniques were developed for temperate or boreal, single species, industrial fisheries. The stock assessment CRSP is aimed at developing the...Read more

Philippines, East Asia and PacificThe Use of Stationary Hydro acoustic Transducers to Study Diel and Tidal Influences on Fish Behavior
Published:
October 1, 1987U.S. Agency for International Development
Diel and tiday conditions are two important factors that influence fish behavior. Many fisheries, such as the Corvina fishery in the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica, take advantage of these influences. This study applied stationary transducer arrays that allowed complete coverage of the water column...Read more
