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.

Age Determination in Biology: a Retrospective and Presentation of Contemporary Methods
Published:
April 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
he organization of this report mainly emphasizes the methods and applications of age determination for fishes. However, the development of ageing methods for fish has not reached its full potential and may not have as long a history as that of the other organisms. One of the examples that can be...Read more

United States, North AmericaSpawning and Recruitment Patterns of Tropical Marine Fish Stock
Published:
March 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
There is a paucity of available knowledge regarding fundamental aspects of tropical fish stock demographics and dynamics. The global objective of this research was to develop quantitative techniques and heuristics designed to facilitate optimal benefits acquisition from TFS resources. This paper...Read more
Tropical Fishery System Model: Corecs - Continuous Recruitment Simulation
Published:
March 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
The objective of this paper was to develop a continuous-time probabilistic simulation model which depicts salient features of the TFS. Simulation has been defined by Minsky (1986) as a situation in which one system mimics the behavior of another. in principle, a modern computer can be used to...Read more
User's Guide to CORECS -- Continuous Recruitment Simulation Model
Published:
March 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
CORECS is a widely applicable finite time-step (At), numerical population simulation model. The model was designed for applications to a tropical context by utilizing continuous versus discrete decision variables. It was specifically designed to produce stochastic age-independent population...Read more
Abundance/Density Equations for Age - Structured Multicohort Populations: Mcon (Multiple Cohort N-Dimensional Model)
Published:
March 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
Traditional yield models have gained recognition as generally reliable 'or describing population demographic processes over a spectrum of temperate sea fish life history classes. The models have embedded within them assumptions regarding constant parameterization and low to nonexistent...Read more
User's Guide to MCON (Multiple Cohort N-Dimensional Model) -- Modern Fisheries Economics
Published:
March 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
MCON is a widely applicable second-order nonlinear differential equation multicohort population simulation model. The model incorporates salient population features through continuous nonlinear age-structured effects. The model uses coupled abundance-density equations for tropical multicohort...Read more
