Profitability and adoption of improved shrimp farming technologies in the aquatic agricultural systems of southwestern Bangladesh
(2014)Type: Journal ArticleThis paper assesses factors influencing adoption of new shrimp aquaculture technologies within aquatic-agricultural farming systems in southwestern Bangladesh. The impacts of three new technologies were assessed: two ... -
The socio-economic context for improving food security through land based aquaculture in Solomon Islands: A peri-urban case study
(2014)Type: Journal ArticleFuture fish demand-supply scenarios project that investment in aquaculture will be needed to ensure fish for food security in Solomon Islands. In 2010 a study of two peri-urban areas of Solomon Islands analysed the demand ... -
Indirect genetic effects and inbreeding: Consequences of BLUP selection for socially affected traits on rate of inbreeding
(2014)Type: Journal ArticleSocial interactions often occur among living organisms, including aquatic animals. There is empirical evidence showing that social interactions may genetically affect phenotypes of individuals and their group mates. In ... -
Beyond net deficits: new priorities for an aquacultural geography
(2014)Type: Journal ArticleGeographers first identified aquaculture as an important field of study during the 1990s, pointing to a 'net deficit' in geographical knowledge about the activity. This paper examines how far geographers have come in ... -
