Global aquaculture production increased with an average rate of 10% per year since 1990 and 90% of
aquaculture production comes from developing countries thus providing livelihood and income especially
to marginal groups who have limited access to resources such as agricultural land and financial capital.
Geographical information systems (GIS) based...
Over the last four decades, the aquaculture sector especially in developing countries has experienced dramatic growth. The increase in aquaculture production is a combination of area expansion and technological change (enhanced strains, input of feed and fertilizer, and improved management). One example of such technological change is the selective breeding...
Smallholder fish farming contribute to improved nutrition, incomes and livelihoods of rural
communities. Despite the potential, aquaculture in most rural areas is based on extensive
production systems characterized by low availability in inputs. In Nyaguta, farmers are involved
in agricultural production activities, including fish farming. However, most farmers do not...

AQUACULTURE IN KENYA INTO VIABLE
ENTERPRISES: A CASE STUDY OF NYAGUTA FISH PONDS IN KISII, KENYA.

A sine-qua-non for eradicating protein malnutrition in Nigeria is increased ingestion of high-value proteins found in various fish forms. This study attempted to give empirical backing or refutation to the assertion that dried fish is consumed more than fresh fish in Nigeria. Data used were gathered in 90 rural and...

Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic organisms especially fish, in Nigeria is dated back to the 1940s at Onikan Experimental farm, South West Lagos and the 160ha industrial scale fish farm, Middle Belt, Panyam, Jos in 1951. Since then, great expansion has been witnessed in Nigeria’s aquaculture industry; graduating from extensive...

In the light of the usual allegation against shrimp farming as an employment displacing activity, this paper tries to examine the role of shrimp farming in generation of employment and income for small scale shrimp farmers in West Bengal, India using primary data collected from 208 traditional and scientific shrimp...
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...
Aquaculture is an industry regarded as being uniquely placed to reverse
declining supplies from capture fisheries in many developing countries.
There is a growing consensus that this industry offers potential in meeting
key components of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) around the
globe. While drawing analogue from national statistical data and...
This paper examines the impact of community based fish culture in
seasonal floodplains on fish production, consumption, income and food
security of the participating households in Bangladesh. About 30 percent
households of the three project and control floodplains were randomly
selected, from whom data were collected using longitudinal surveys on...
The study aimed to assess the contribution of seaweed farming based on sustainable
livelihood framework using an indicator system formulated at the FAO Experts Workshop on Methods and Indicators held at Nha Trang University in Vietnam last November 2008.
The overall aim of this research project is to determine the socioeconomic impact of a live tilapia gathering and distribution centre on rural and peri-urban fish farmers. The study area is established in the fringes between urban and rural areas of Veracruz City, in Mexico. Previously, both the national and...

Small-scale aquaculture is fundamental to the livelihoods of many of the
rural poor in Asia and Africa. There is growing evidence that in many cases
the poorer people have the greater dependence on aquatic resources,
particularly low-value fish and non-fish aquatic resources. However, in
spite of the benefits, the potential...
Information on economic viability of aquaculture is crucial for investors when assessing the feasibility of an aquaculture investment. Unfortunately, such information has been scarce in Nigeria. The economic analysis of fish farming in Osun State, South-Western Nigeria was therefore carried out using data collected from seventy two randomly selected fish...
Change in climate, harvest stagnation in wild fisheries and overexploitation of popular fish
species, combined with a growing demand for high quality protein and a need to sustain
livelihood and improve food security has compelled aquaculturists to domesticate more fish
species in environments which is not rural as the case...
