The degradation of natural infrastructure like mangroves, wetlands, and coral reefs in urban coastal areas is a significant and growing problem that disproportionately impacts poor populations. Coastal ecosystems provide important benefits like food, income, and protection from hazards, but around half of these ecosystems have been lost globally since 1900 due to development and land use changes. This is especially pressing in Asia and Africa where populations are rapidly growing in coastal cities and rely heavily on natural resources. Continued degradation of remaining coastal ecosystems from climate change and development could lead to irreversible losses of natural infrastructure protection for tens of millions of vulnerable urban coastal dwellers worldwide.
1) A study by Uttarakhand's Forest Department estimated the annual economic value of ecosystem services provided by Uttarakhand forests to be 104 billion rupees.
2) A study by the Centre for Ecological Services Management estimated that India's tiger reserves provide ecosystem services worth over 80 billion rupees annually, with Corbett Tiger Reserve alone providing 14.7 billion rupees annually.
3) Properly accounting for the economic value of ecosystem services through metrics like Gross Environment Product is important for more accurate cost-benefit analyses of development projects and policy decisions.

Guaranteed farm income through payment for ecosystem servicesIndia Water Portal
Agriculture has been supplying food, fibre and fuel as provisioning services, but is under severe distress due to low incomes. The farms also regulate climate, surface water flows, ground water levels, and waste assimilation and breakdown besides offering water purification. But there’s currently no mechanism to compensate the farmers for these services. However, modern agriculture with its excessive groundwater extraction, over use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and straw burning is also causing a number of disservices.
In this scenario, a mechanism to pay the farmers for ecological services they offer can work on two levels: it will ensure a guaranteed income to the farmers and it will prompt them to adopt sustainable farming practices like organic farming which will fetch higher incentives.
Sustainable Fisheries Financing Strategies: Save the Oceans Feed the World Pr...The Rockefeller Foundation
Traditional strategies supporting ocean conservation and protection of fisheries have most often involved political advocacy, community engagement, and media campaigns that target protection of charismatic species and threatened habitats. In recent years, actors seeking to protect ocean environments have increasingly turned to market-based policies and incentives to better align commercial and conservation objectives. These strategies have included certification schemes, the emergence of eco-brands, small investment funds, and consumer-marketing efforts that generate greater demand for sustainably sourced seafood. Market principles also shape the use of rights-based fisheries management, or “catch share” systems, which attempt to integrate property rights into fishing access as a way to incentivize better long-term resource stewardship.

Aquaculture and fisheries biotechnology genetic approachesأسعد لحمر
This chapter provides a brief history of aquaculture and fisheries, noting that while aquaculture is an ancient practice, it has grown tremendously in recent decades. Genetic biotechnology has also made significant advances in improving farmed species since the 1980s. However, commercial fisheries still have higher economic value than aquaculture globally. Natural fish populations are important gene banks that can provide genetic variation for aquaculture breeding programs. Recreational fishing also has high economic value. Biotechnology impacts both aquaculture and fisheries due to their interrelationships, and will be important for managing wild stocks and conserving genetic diversity. Meeting future global demand for seafood will require expanding aquaculture production through genetic improvement techniques
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of integrated fish farming in Asia. It provides background on the long history of integrated fish and plant cultivation in China. The principle is that waste from one system serves as nutrients for another, increasing diversity and yields. Models include agri-based fish farming and livestock-fish farming. Advantages are efficient waste utilization, reduced costs, increased outputs, and contributions to local economies and food security. However, disadvantages include increased risk of disease transmission to fish and humans from poor quality waste and water, as well as stress on fish from dependent production systems. Proper planning, training, and management are needed to realize benefits while mitigating risks.

Presentation hesy 12-02-2014 Recirculation Aquaculture SystemsSander de Bondt
Hesy Aquaculture is a specialist in the design and construction of intensive recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) for fish farming. They have 30 years of experience and have delivered over 180 RAS systems worldwide for a variety of freshwater and saltwater fish species. Their turnkey systems include biological and technical start-up support, as well as management training. RAS is advantageous as it allows high density fish production using minimal water in a controlled environment, with benefits for water quality, disease control, and consistency of supply.
Present Status, Export potential and Challenges of Fisheries Industry in IndiaKiritKene
The Indian fisheries industry employs over 1.5 crore people and has grown steadily over the years, with marine product exports increasing from Rs. 3.92 crore in 1961-62 to Rs. 11,130.52 crore in 2010-11. However, the industry faces challenges of underutilized resources, lack of infrastructure and inputs, and dependence on exports to few markets and products. While India has strong potential to increase its production from the current 2.5 million tonnes to the estimated potential of 15 million tonnes, it must overcome challenges of low productivity, post-harvest losses, and climate change impacts to fully tap into the untapped potential of its fisheries industry.
The document discusses the application of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) in fish farming. RAS filter and recycle water from fish tanks through a treatment process before returning it to the tanks. This allows for high fish stocking densities while using little water. Key components of RAS include fish tanks, mechanical and biological filtration to remove waste, and oxygenation. RAS provide environmental and production benefits over other systems but also have higher capital and operating costs due to the water treatment infrastructure required.
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) operate by filtering water from the fish (or shellfish) tanks so it can be reused within the tank. This dramatically reduces the amount of water and space required to intensively produce seafood products.
Present status & future prospects in marine aquacultureKiritKene
This document provides an overview of the present status and future prospects of marine aquaculture in India. It discusses key topics like the major cultivable species, top aquaculture producer countries, present status of marine fisheries resources in India, financial facilities available, and future growth opportunities. The document contains tables and information on aspects like state-wise marine fish production, cultivable biological resources, site selection criteria, and the role of organizations like FAO in supporting the sector.
This document discusses recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) for fish and shrimp farming with integrated hydroponics (aquaponics). It provides details on candidate species for RAS, system design considerations, and examples of RAS for various species including sea bass, turbot, Arctic charr, European perch, and shrimp. It also discusses factors to consider like temperature, salinity, growth rates, feed conversion ratios, and production densities for different species in RAS.
1. Biofloc technology is an aquaculture system that uses nitrifying bacteria to control water quality within culture ponds without water exchange. This allows for high stocking densities.
2. Studies show biofloc systems can yield commercial productions of 20-25 metric tons per hectare per crop cycle at stocking densities over 130-150 shrimp per square meter. Higher densities of over 150 have been tested in research trials.
3. Key factors for success include maintaining high aeration levels, proper paddlewheel placement, and biofloc control through siphoning to keep levels below 15 ml/L of water. With these the system can yield higher productions at lower costs than conventional shrimp farming.
The document discusses biofloc technology (BFT), which uses bacteria to control water quality in aquaculture. BFT balances carbon and nitrogen to form protein-rich flocs that fish and shrimp can eat. BFT allows high stocking densities in a sustainable way by recycling nutrients. It has benefits for nursery, grow-out, and breeding phases of aquaculture and may provide an alternative protein source. BFT also shows potential for controlling disease through quorum sensing disruption and immune stimulation.

Resilience thinking and the sustainability of agricultural systemsChristo Fabricius
This document discusses challenges facing global food systems and strategies for increasing their resilience. It notes population growth is straining food production, leading to uneven food availability and declining self-sufficiency in many countries. Industrial agriculture is depleting water supplies and soil. Climate change may cause crop failures as thresholds are crossed. Transforming systems requires managing complexity, diversity, cross-scale interactions, social learning and broad participation to navigate change while feeding more people sustainably.

This document evaluates methods for detecting aquaculture waterbodies in southern Bangladesh using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multispectral data. It finds that ensembles of SAR and multispectral data improved water detection rates over individual methods. Shape indices and SAR backscatter data helped differentiate waterbodies. However, the study was limited by 10m spatial resolution and vegetation interference, which affected segmentation of small or irregular waterbodies. Overall, the best methods achieved water detection rates up to 87% in districts, though prediction performance was lower due to segmentation limitations.

The number of fish and feed traders has increased significantly in the last decade. Fish trading deals mostly in carp, while feed trading sells floating feed pellets. Both fish and feed trading were profitable businesses but were negatively impacted by reduced demand during COVID-19, with traders reporting lower sales and incomes.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 3: Introduction to Survey MethodsWorldFish
- The document summarizes survey methods used in 2014 and 2020 to study the aquaculture value chain in Bangladesh.
- In 2014, a stacked value chain survey covered 20 districts and interviewed over 3,000 actors including 1,540 farmers, hatcheries, traders, and input providers using purposive stratified random sampling.
- In 2020, the survey focused on 7 districts in South and Southwestern Bangladesh, updating the 2014 panel and randomly selecting replacements. It developed censuses and randomly surveyed over 1,000 individuals across farm households, traders, and input traders.
This document summarizes the results of a survey of 721 aquatic farms in Bangladesh. It finds that farms produce a diverse mix of fish, shrimp, and prawn, with fish being the dominant crop. Integrated crop and aquatic farming is also common. The survey found high levels of disease, especially impacting shrimp farms. It also found that farms were highly exposed to extreme weather like flooding. COVID-19 negatively impacted production, though fish farms were less affected. Overall, the systems were found to be profitable and resilient despite challenges due to their diverse and adaptable nature.
The document summarizes results from a combined survey and remote sensing study of aquaculture farms in seven districts in Bangladesh. It finds that:
1) Machine learning estimates of total farm area were similar to government statistics, and calculated average production values, incomes, feed use, and jobs per hectare to estimate totals for the districts.
2) The study estimated a total value of aquaculture production of $1.45 billion USD and farm profits of $670 million USD across the seven districts.
3) The results reveal the potential of combining remote sensing, machine learning, and representative surveys to estimate a wide range of sector statistics, though some estimates differed from government reports.
This document provides an overview of the "Harnessing Machine Learning to Estimate Aquaculture Production and Value Chain Performance in Bangladesh" project. The project was funded by USAID Innovation Lab for Fish and implemented from April 2020 to September 2022 by Michigan State University, BAU, WorldFish, and CIAT. The project aimed to survey aquaculture farmers, fish traders, and suppliers; use machine learning on remote sensing images combined with survey data to estimate economic impacts; and build capacity through extension videos. Key components included surveying 1100 participants, using machine learning to analyze remote sensing data, and disseminating short extension videos on social media.
