Responsibility
This article by Dr. Claude Boyd reports on global estimates for shrimp pond area in several countries. Because land use is an important indicator of the environment impact of an activity, better data on the shrimp pond area and the areas devoted to other types of aquaculture are needed.
Responsibility
Space requirements for aquaculture include the culture water area and associated physical culture facilities as well as the land used to raise plant-based feed ingredients.
Responsibility
It behooves us to understand land and water use issues and understand the differences between aquaculture and traditional agriculture.
