2. INTRODUCTION
 Based on three targets and associated
outputs and activities, the strategy will be
implemented.
 TARGET 1: Build an efficient regulatory
and administrative framework to secure
sustainableaquaculture development.
 TARGET 2: Enhance interactions between
aquaculture and the environment while
ensuring animal health and welfare.
 TARGET 3: Facilitate market-oriented
aquaculture and enhance public
perception.
A careful planning in
order to ensure the long
term social, economic
and environmental
sustainability of the
sector.

3. SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPT
• SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
IS DEVELOPMENT THAT
MEETS THE NEED OF THE
PRESENT WITHOUT
COMPROMISING THE ABILITY
OF THE FUTURE GENERATION
TO MEET THEIR NEEDS"

4. STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINABILITY
 Food security
 Biosecurity
 Organic farming
 Integrated farming
 Responsible
aquaculture
 Rotational aquaculture
It is essential to strike a
balance between the
need for aquaculture
development and the need
for natural resources
conservation.

5. FOOD SECURITY
Food security exists when
all people, at all times, have
physical, social and
economic access to
sufficient, safe and
nutritious food which meets
their dietary needs and food
preferences for an active
and healthy life.
Avialability
Utilization
Access
Stability
 Receive more attention in fish
food security and Nutrition
strategy
 Opportunities and challenges in
aquaculture.
 Small vs large fish farming.
 Social protection and labour
rights.
 Gender equity.
 Governance.

6. BIOSECURITY
 Managing risk of pathogen introduction.
 Survelliance to detect pathogen incursion.
 Response to pathogen incursion.
 Cost and benefits.
 Risk assessment based resource allocation.
protection of plants,
animals
(including humans and
associated activities),
and the wider
environment from the
unwanted impacts of
biological agents,
including diseases and
pests.

8. Who has responsibility?
• Farmers • Industry
Organisation
• Local/National
government
Can apply good
biosecurity practice
as part of their
normal operations.
Can develop
biosecurity codes of
practice/
conduct and
facilitate information
exchange between
farmers,
encouraging a
corporate view and
discouraging
secrecy on matters
of broader disease
concern.
Can increase
awareness
through
extension,
require
minimal
biosecurity
standards at the
farm level (e.g.
as a part of
licensing
agreements)

9. ORGANIC FARMING
Organic farming is
a farming practice
and process which
is environment
friendly and
healthy, in harmony
with nature and
which does not use
harmful synthetic
chemicals.
 Conversion to Organic Aquaculture.
 Basic Conditions.
 Location of Production Units.
 Location of Collecting Areas.
 Health and Welfare .
 Breeds and Breeding.
 Nutrition (Aquaculture).
 Harvesting.
 Transportation of Living Animals.
 Slaughter.

10.  Absence of GMOs in stocks and feed prime material.
 Limitation of stocking density.
 Origin of vegetal feed and fertilizer from certified
organic aquculture, no artificia feed ingredients and
networking of organic .
 No use of synthetic pesticides and herbicide.
 Restriction on energy consumption (e.g. regarding
aeration).
 Preference for natural medicines.
 Intensive monitoring of environmental impact.
• The main principle of Aquaculture standards

11. RESPONSIBLE AQUACULTURE
Environment
 Species
choice
• Responsibility in aquaculture
management
Genetic
manipulation
Sustainable
use of inputs
Awareness of general
concept of responsibility is
increasing among the
owners and operators of
large scale and intensive
farm, but small scale and
traditional fish farmers are
generally ignorant. The
concept of the responsible
aquaculture incorporated
where legislation exist into
regulations and licences.

12. INTEGRATIONAL AQUACULTURE
Integrated farming
involving
aquaculture defined
broadly is the
concurrent or
sequential linkage
between two or
more activities of at
least one is
aquaculture.
 Animal wastes in integrated fish farming.
 Values of animal waste.
 Storage of animal waste.
 Multipurpose use of wastes.
 Fish pond management.
 Stocking density of fish.
 Public health risk.

13. ROTATIONAL AQUACULTURE
 Technical parameters.
 Soil quality.
 Water quality.
 Pond construction.
 Water supply and drainage.
 Pond management.
 Stocking.
 Feeding.
 Harvesting.
Farming consist of using
flooded paddy fields after
harvest where one or more
fish/shrimp crops cultured
for short duration.
