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.

Thailand, East Asia and PacificFinal Report Covering Period 1988-1993: Contribution of Mangrove Detritus to The Production of Commercially Important Shrimp Species
Published:
January 1, 1991U.S. Agency for International Development
The overall hypothesis we tested was that juveniles prawns living within mangrove creeks derive significantly greater nutritional benefits from mangrove detritus than do juveniles and adults living offshore. We used a multiple isotope approach (carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur) to elucidate the degree...Read more
