Aquaculture and sustainable development: a regulatory or governance system?
Governance is defined as a process allowing actors to contextualise the regulatory system and, as a result, to transform sustainable development (SD) into an instrument of action. It will be all the easier for actors to familiarise themselves with SD and its implementation measures if these measures are similar to their representation on SD and its consequences on their activity and social life. ...

Water budgets for freshwater fish ponds of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal, India
The water budgets for some aquaculture systems in three states viz. Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal were determined in the present study. The average evaporation and seepage loss from the aquaculture ponds throughout the year in Cuttack, Kendrapara, Jajpur, and Puri districts of Orissa were 164 ± 8.3 and 73 ± 16.5 cm, respectively; 152 ± 10 and 90 ± 16 cm, respectively, in South and ...

What are the impacts and solutions to rising feed ingredient prices for aquaculture?
Our world population is climbing, and agriculture must rise to the challenge of producing a much larger portion of daily food intake for that population. One option that is gaining popularity is aquaculture, which provides much greater yields at lower inputs than harvesting a dwindling wild population of edible fish. But rising feed ingredient prices are beginning to have an impact on the ...

CO2 Removal and Stripping Column Ventilation Rate at Bell Aquaculture
Monitoring and controlling CO2 level in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) is crucial not only for fish health but it is used increasingly for efficient management. Under supervision of Steve Summerfelt, a joint project has studied costs savings with optimizing ventilation based on CO2 continuous monitoring. The CO2 probe used in that project came from ...

Aquaculture induced erosion of tropical coastlines throws coastal communities back into poverty
Shallow tropical coastlines harbour unique mangrove ecosystems, which support livelihoods and provide a natural barrier against coastal flooding. Non-sustainable land-use practices, such as large-scale clear cutting of mangroves for aquaculture, ground water withdrawal and alteration of river flows, result in rapid subsidence. The collapse of aquaculture production, due to pollution and disease, ...
