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.

User's Manual for Simulpop, a Program to Simulate Series of Length Frequency Distributions of An Exploited Fish Stock
Published:
May 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
The objective of the program is to obtain a series of monthly length frequency distributions representing the catch of a population with known parameters (life history and fishing activity related parameters). Consequently, it is possible to verify the ability of different length frequency...Read more

Published:
April 1, 1988U.S. Agency for International Development
The present working document contains the initial papers of a series whose ultimate purpose is to provide a realistic basis for a fresh appraisal of both the surplus production and the dynamic pool approaches to fishery yield analysis. The main idea is to tighten the conceptual framework of the...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
