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.

Aquaculture, like all interventions by humans to exploit or manage natural resources for food production, has the potential for causing environmental harm as well as for improving livelihood and nutrition. Aquaculture development must be u undertaken in a broad intersectoral context, considering...Read more
On The Role of Urea in Pond Fertilization
Published:
January 1, 1993U.S. Agency for International Development
Two experiments were conducted to better understand the role of urea in pond fertilization. in experiment 1, urea dissolved in pond water and incubated in aquaria at approximately 30degrees Celsius disappeared at a rate of 303ug urea-N1 day under natural sunlight conditions, and 102 ug urea-N1 day...Read more

Published:
June 1, 1992U.S. Agency for International Development
Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, feeding on a microbial matecosystem dominated by the cyanobacteriim, Oscillatoria, grew faster than control tilapia fed at 3% of their body weight per day. This has been shown in previous experiments where ensiled grass stimulated a bacterial and cyanobacterial (blue...Read more
