En quelques années, l'Indonésie est devenue un des premiers pays producteurs de crevettes. L'extension et l'intensification rapide des élevages a des répercussions socio-économiques et écologiques majeures. Après un pic de 130.000 tonnes en 1992, la production est tombée à 100 000 tonnes en 1993. Depuis, le développement de nouveaux sites...
The global aquaculture industry has seen dramatic growth over the last two decades, and is forecast to become increasingly important into the next century. The aquaculture output, of the African continent, however, remains low at about 4% of the total. There is a perception of failure where donor assisted projects...
Cette communication s'intéresse à l'essor que connaît l'aquaculture en Thaïlande depuis quelques années dans le but de mettre en évidence certaines répercussions socio-économiques provoquées par le développement accéléré de cette activité.

Despite several factors favoring the development of haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) aquaculture, there is virtually no economic information on its feasibility. This paper uses bioeconomic simulation techniques to conduct an ex-ante impact assessment of the early life stages in haddock production. Using an economic engineering methodology, early life stages are modeled...
