The contribution of aquatic ecosystems and fisheries to food security and livelihoods: a research agenda
Type: Book Chapter
Aquatic ecosystems are a diverse group of water dependent habitats that support important biodiversity and provide a wide range of benefits to people. As pressure on the world‘s water resources has increased, there has ...
Evolution of shrimp aquaculture systems in the coastal zones of Bangladesh and Vietnam: a comparison
Type: Book Chapter
Based on on-farm surveys implemented in the Ganges Delta in Bangladesh and the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, the dynamics of shrimp aquaculture in salinity-influenced coastal areas were analysed. Qualitative data were collected ...
Community-Based Fish Culture in Seasonal Floodplains
Type: Journal Article
During the rainy season in extensive river floodplains and deltaic lowlands, floods render the land unavailable for crop production for several months each year. These waters are considerably underutilized in terms of ...
Priority setting for research on aquatic resources: an application of modified economic surplus analysis to natural resource systems
Type: Journal Article
In contrast to research on farming systems, research on natural resource systems seldom applies rigorous priority setting techniques, mainly due to difficulties associated with estimating research impact ex ante for such ...
Farmer-participatory research approaches towards agriculture-aquaculture integration for sustainable management of natural resources
Type: Report
The direct and indirect effects of recycling can have significant impacts on the ecological sustainabilty of the entire farming system. Indirect effects include the integration of new enterprises that promote recycling as ...
Integrating agriculture, fisheries and ecosystem conservation: Win-win solutions
Type: Journal Article
Integrated Agriculture-Aquaculture (IAA) is essentially diversification of agriculture, leading to synergisms among sub-systems resulting in a higher productivity from land/water area under the farmers' control. One method ...
Delineating recommendation domains for small-scale freshwater aquaculture: deploying GIS for decision support
Type: Book Chapter
This paper highlights Geographical Information System (GIS) applications in an on-going, three-year project to develop spatial decision-support tools for identifying recommendation domains (places and sets of conditions) ...
Integration of aquaculture into crop-animal systems in Asia
Type: Journal Article
The status of integrated agriculture-aquaculture (IAA) in Asia is reviewed, with an emphasis on rural small-scale systems. Existing IAA systems within mixed farming systems are characterised and the economic and ecological ...
Aquaculture for diversification of small farms within forest buffer zone management: an example from the uplands of Quirino Province, Philippines.
Type: Book Chapter
Upland farming systems can have severe negative effects through intensified slash-and-burn activities, erosion-enhancing farm practices on moderate to steep slopes, and further encroachment into forest areas. ICLARM studied, ...
Multivariate models of tilapia and carp growth as an application of microcomputers in aquaculture research
Type: Journal Article
An examination is made of the applications of microcomputers to aquaculture research, considering in particular data storage and processing and also statistical analysis programmes. Reference is made to development projects ...
