Influences on network interactions, risk perceptions, and adoption of aquaculture practices. Agricultural Systems, 173.0308-521Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12348/2825Over the course of just a few years, shrimp farming has become a major aquaculture production system in coastal areas of several developing countries across the globe. However, farmers are facing a variety of risks related to disease, market, and climate, which influence risk management strategies and adoption of new technologies. This paper looks at three practices related to pond management: (1) water quality management to ensure a good environment for shrimp growth; (2) adequate feed input; and (3) disease control practices in order to mitigate the risk of disease outbreak in the pond.PDFCC-BY-4.0adoptionvietnamrisk perceptionfarmers' interactionsFishTo cluster or not to cluster farmers?
