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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Impact of development and dissemination of Integrated Aquaculture-Agriculture (IAA) Technologies in Malawi
Type: Journal Article
Malawi is a small but densely populated country in Southern Africa. Fish is an important part of the nutrition of Malawians, providing essential protein and micronutrients. However, per capita fish consumption has halved ...
Integrated smallholder agriculture aquaculture in Asia: optimizing trophic flows
Type: Book Chapter
A nutrient modelling approach was applied to show how the combination of crops, trees, livestock, and fish, that is, integrated agriculture-aquaculture (IAA), helps in optimizing trophic flows in Asian rice-based agroecosystems. ...
Wastewater use in aquaculture: research in Peru
Type: Journal Article
Use of wastewater is an issue gaining importance throughout the (developing) world, as water sources become scarcer and competition for them increases. In Peru, research has shown the technical, economic and social feasibility ...
