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.

Duck - Cum - Fish Culture: a Research Proposal
U.S. Agency for International Development
Fish production is taking place in nepal. Higher production will ultimately improve nutrition and will bring fish within economical reach of the Nepalese. This review of literature shows that the quantity of fish and duck production projected in the research project proposal is justifiable. A brief...Read more

U.S. Agency for International Development
The evaluation of optimus mesh size for multispecies trawl fisheries relies primarily on the aggregation of individual yield-per-recruit response surfaces. The analytic model expression incorporated in these procedures assumes knife-edge selection. The present study examines the effect of replacing...Read more
