How Can Aquaculture Contribute to the Poor? Evidence From Brackish-Water Extensive Polyculture in the Philippines

Creator:: Dabbadie, Lionel, Diaz, Amor, Little, David, Morales, Jack, and Vagneron, Isabelle
Abstract:: Aquaculture is one of the most dynamic food-producing subsectors worldwide. In the Philippines, shrimp monoculture started in the 1980s, only to collapse less than a decade later due to disease. More recently, extensive polyculture of fish, shrimp and mud crabs has developed. The objective of this paper is to analyze...
