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.

Published:
August 1, 1989U.S. Agency for International Development
An analysis of variations in community structure along a heavily fished fore reef slope in the Philippines indicates that depth and heterogeneity at the 1 and 10 cm scales were dominant structuring factors. Bottom temperature also appeared to be influential, but its effect was difficult to isolate...Read more
