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.

Indonesia, East Asia and PacificImproved Method for Fitting Gillnet Selectivity Curves to Predetermined Distributions
Published:
June 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
Monte Carlo optimization with constraints was used to estimate parameters of "skew-normal" selectivity curves for gillnets. Non-linear functions of mesh size were explored in addition to the linear ones described by Wulff (1986). This methodology can be used to estimate the parameters for...Read more
