Aquaculture

  • Productivity and Efficiency

According to the World Resources Institute, aquaculture—or fish farming—has grown rapidly to meet world fish demand, more than doubling production between 2000 and 2012. New research shows that aquaculture production will need to more than double again between now and 2050 to meet the demands of a growing population. Resources available in this sub-theme include aquaculture development strategies, country-wide aquaculture project reports, and institutional practices for aquaculture strengthening, among other resources that support improving aquaculture globally.

Catfish Are Not the Only Fish in the Pond

Publication date:
January 1, 1975
U.S. Agency for International Development
MANY OTHER TYPES OF FISH OF EXCELLENT EATING QUALITY HAVE MUCH LOWER FEED AND WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS THAN DO CATFISH, AND REQUIRE MUCH LOWER LEVELS OF CAPITAL AND MANAGEMENT.
