Aquaculture
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.

Food Habits and Feeding Chronology of Channel Catfish, Ictalurus Punctatus (Rafinesque) in Conowingo Reservoir
Published:
January 1, 1970U.S. Agency for International Development
The single 24-hour feeding chronology study indicated that subadult and adult catfish fed heavily during the daylight hours although some feeding also occurred in the night. The major foods eaten by subadults and adults differed over the 24-hour period. Fishes formed the hulk of the diet at 0600...Read more

Published:
January 1, 1969U.S. Agency for International Development
Channel and white catfish fingerlings, stocked in ponds with large' mouth bass at densities of 2,000 to 3,000 catfish per acre separately or in combination and given daily feeding have continued to provide excellent sport fishing. Four-inch fingerling catfish stocked by February and given...Read more

The National Institutes for Water Resources
Variants of aquaculture exist depending upon the prevailing conditions of an area. For example, fish farming operations in Arizona, a mostly hot, arid region, will differ from what occurs in the Southeast, a wet region and the center of aquaculture in the United States. Desert aquaculture is lesser...Read more

United StatesNorth AmericaEffect of Incorporating Sigmoid Selection on Optimums'. Mesh Size Estimation for the Samar Sea Multispecies Trawl Fishery
U.S. Agency for International Development
The evaluation of optimus mesh size for multispecies trawl fisheries relies primarily on the aggregation of individual yield-per-recruit response surfaces. The analytic model expression incorporated in these procedures assumes knife-edge selection. The present study examines the effect of replacing...Read more
