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.

Review of National Laws and Legislations in the Philippines in Relation to Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM)
Published:
January 1, 2013U.S. Agency for International Development, World Wildlife Fund
Despite the Philippines' abundant fisheries resources, its marine ecosystems are showing signs of overfishing (FAO 2011). The country is experiencing rapid depletion of its aquatic resources, with 75 percent of its coral reefs degraded, and with its mangrove forest and its other fisheries...Read more

Published:
January 1, 1995U.S. Agency for International Development
The recent development of technology for the ocean culture of juvenile giant clams (family Tridacnidae) in the South Pacific has brought attention to the predatory activities of a hitherto little studied mesogastropod genus, Cymatium (family Ranelidae). The results of research into relevant aspects...Read more

January 1, 1993U.S. Agency for International Development
This contribution presents the rationale for the other chapters in this book, to which it serves as introduction. We discuss sequentially: our emphasis on tilapia (Oreochromis spp., Fam. Cichlidae), modelling of pond aquaculture, exploratory and con firmatory methods for multivariate analysis, the...Read more

Published:
January 1, 1993U.S. Agency for International Development
Two grow-out experiments were conducted to evaluate the functional role of chicken manure for Nile tilapia. Oreochromis niloticus (L.), production in central Thailand. Experiment 1 examined the relationship between chicken manure input and net fish yield (NFY). Experiment 2 determined the value of...Read more

Published:
March 1, 1992U.S. Agency for International Development
Aquatic resources are important for livelihood and consumption. Fish, including finfish, crustaceans, mollusks and seaweeds, are the fifth most important agricultural commodity. Developing countries catch and produce 52 million tons annually, over half of the world production. At least 50 million...Read more

Philippines, East Asia and PacificDetermination and Comparison of Bivalve Growth, with Emphasis on Thailand and Other Tropical Areas
Published:
January 1, 1992U.S. Agency for International Development
An analysis of the shell microstructure of A. granosa and P. viridis experimentally cultured in coastal waters of Thailand revealed that the formation of growth lines was closely related to tidal periodicity. This study concludes that growth lines are formed when the bivalves react with shell...Read more

Published:
October 1, 1991U.S. Agency for International Development
Nine successive 5-month experiments which examined relationships between fertilization strategies, water quality and yields of Nile tilapia took place February 1985 through March 1990 in 16 earthen ponds at the Ayutthaya Freshwater Fisheries Center, Bang Sai, Thailand. Over the course of these...Read more

The Work Plan for Cycle II outlined experiments designed to test the hypothesis that organic maintenance fertilizer inputs would perform better, in terms of fish production and of water quality, than inorganic inputs with equivalent contents of total nitrogen and phosphorus. The CRSP freshwater...Read more
