Community based fisheries management in Cambodia. Tauk Chanraksmey
The community-based fisheries management (CBFM) in Cambodia aims to promote the sustainable fisheries resource management by the empowerment of fisher’s communities to manage their own aquatic resource. This paper describes the challenging of fisheries communities’ implementation: case study in Cambodia and the most important insight in the advocated practical issues that impact on their social livelihood. In addition, this lesson is aimed to gain a better understanding of function in CBFM in Cambodia in general, with particular emphasis the way forward successful of CBFM. The absence of sustainable management and ineffective enforcement of regulation lead to overfishing. The illegal fishing and encroachment of flood plain forest as private possession, other developments still exist including possible accessing of outsider fisher. Mostly CBFM still depends on external support combine with the short budget and no regular incentive resource. The understanding of fishermen and good leadership as well as capacity building initiative which focus on leadership development which is personnel investment and including effort of women involvement. The collaboration between government agencies and community committee are weak including the right of individual participation as co-management actor in community fisheries decision making processes. In addition, CBFM lacks in action plan, and cooperation of competent authority which is essential for the progress of implementation of fisheries management. We need to promote regional, national and sub-nation networking on implement community fisheries (Cfi) activities by their own initiative and self-financial creation. Law on fisheries and sub-degree on Cfi management should amendment for empowerment and promote the right based approached.
This document discusses the feeding habits of fish. It begins by defining feeding habit as the kind of food an animal habitually consumes during its life or at a particular stage. It then describes different modes of feeding such as herbivores, omnivores, carnivores, and limnivores. The document highlights that understanding the feeding habits of fish is important for polyculture systems. It also discusses the major types of feeding like grazing, predation, straining, sucking, and parasitism. Finally, it provides examples of different mouth structures in fish and how they relate to the fish's diet.
- Mugil cephalus, commonly known as the striped mullet, is an euryhaline fish that is cultured alone or with other fish species like tilapia.
- Grey mullet has been farmed for centuries in extensive and semi-intensive ponds in places like the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and Egypt.
- Major producing countries include Italy, Israel, Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Mullet is found worldwide in coastal waters except for some regions in the Americas.
Biofloc technology (BFT) is a technique used in aquaculture to balance carbon and nitrogen in a system using microbial aggregates called biofloc. The biofloc provides protein, lipids, amino acids, and fatty acids to fish. BFT aims to produce more aquaculture with minimum land and water usage through sustainable, environmentally-friendly systems. It involves limiting water exchange so organic residues accumulate and bacteria thrive, controlling water quality. Fish consume the bacteria while feed is recycled. The process requires high stocking density, aeration, lined ponds, and suitable feeding to develop biofloc over 7-15 days until it reaches the desired density above 10ml/l, at which point fish are introduced
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.
This document discusses integrated fisheries management. It begins by outlining the importance of fish and fishing throughout human civilization.

Fisheries and aquaculture sectors in Bangladesh: an overview of the present s...Premier Publishers
Fisheries sector in Bangladesh represents as one of the most productive and dynamic sectors in the country. This sector plays a significant role in food security, employment, and foreign exchange earnings in the economy. At present agricultural transformation is taking place in Bangladesh. With the changes of farming system, farmers have started to shift their crop land to aquaculture as they considered it more profitable compared to rice production. The production of inland fisheries represents an increasing trend since 1989-90 with a growth rate of around 5-7%. Similarly, marine fisheries have also shown an increasing trend while a fluctuated growth rate has emerged in this sub sector. The fisheries sector in the 21st century is facing the challenges of food security for the increasing population, habitat degradation, urbanization, and industrial development. Development of responsible fisheries management and optimal use of water bodies can address those challenges. Since fishery is a productive growth sector in Bangladesh, it has high potential to contribute in the socioeconomic development of the country.

Various feeding classifications are described, including feeding types, trophic niches, and quantitative analyses of gut content. Structural modifications in fishes related to their different feeding habits are also mentioned.
This document discusses carbohydrates as a nutrient for fish. It begins by defining nutrients and describing the six major nutrient types, including carbohydrates. It then discusses carbohydrate digestion in fish and the factors that affect carbohydrate digestibility. While carbohydrates provide a cheap source of energy for fish feeds, their utilization depends on the fish species. The document concludes by listing the carbohydrate content of various fish feeds and restating that carbohydrates serve as an energy source for fish growth.
This document summarizes a presentation on biofloc technology given by Mr. Tarang Kumar Shah for his PhD in Aquaculture. It discusses how biofloc technology works by balancing carbon and nitrogen to form protein-rich flocs that maintain water quality. It also outlines the history and mechanisms of biofloc formation, factors influencing flocs, and applications of biofloc technology in aquaculture including shrimp and fish farming, nursery and grow-out phases, and its potential benefits for aquaponics and breeding.
A Minimal Water Exchange Aquaculture System, also known as a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS), is a modern and sustainable approach to fish farming that minimizes water usage by continuously recycling and treating the water within a closed system. In this system, water is reused and treated to maintain optimal water quality for fish while reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional aquaculture methods.
The key components of a minimal water exchange aquaculture system include:
1. Fish Tanks: These are the primary units where fish are raised. The tanks are designed to provide suitable conditions for fish growth, such as appropriate water depth, temperature, and oxygen levels.
2. Filtration System: RAS incorporates various filtration components to remove solid waste, excess nutrients, and harmful substances from the water. Mechanical filters remove large particles, while biological filters foster beneficial bacteria that convert toxic ammonia into less harmful substances.
3. Water Treatment: Water treatment technologies, such as UV sterilization or ozonation, are used to control pathogens and maintain water quality within acceptable parameters. These methods help to ensure a healthy environment for the fish.
4. Oxygenation: Adequate oxygen levels are critical for fish health. RAS employs techniques such as aerators, oxygen injectors, or oxygen cones to maintain dissolved oxygen levels throughout the system.
5. Monitoring and Control: RAS relies on advanced monitoring and control systems to continuously measure and regulate parameters such as temperature, pH, oxygen levels, and water flow. This ensures optimal conditions for fish growth and allows for timely adjustments if any deviations occur.
The benefits of a Minimal Water Exchange Aquaculture System (RAS) include:
1. Water Conservation: RAS significantly reduces water consumption by recycling and reusing water within the system. It helps conserve this valuable resource and minimizes the environmental impact associated with traditional aquaculture, which often requires large amounts of freshwater usage.
2. Improved Water Quality: The water in a RAS undergoes thorough filtration and treatment, resulting in high-quality water conditions for the fish. By removing waste and controlling water parameters, RAS helps minimize the risk of disease outbreaks and promotes optimal fish health.
3. Reduced Environmental Impact: The closed-loop nature of RAS prevents the release of excess nutrients and waste into the surrounding environment, minimizing the impact on natural ecosystems and reducing the risk of pollution.
4. Increased Production Density: RAS allows for higher stocking densities compared to traditional aquaculture systems. The controlled environment and efficient waste management of RAS enable farmers to maximize production within a smaller footprint.
5. Disease Control: The controlled and isolated environment of RAS helps minimize the risk of disease transmission
Dr. P.K. Pandey is the major advisor and Dean of CAU. The document discusses the impacts of aquaculture including antibiotic resistance, habitat degradation, and pollution. It then proposes various green technologies to mitigate these impacts such as environmentally friendly feeds that reduce nitrogen loads, biopesticides and phytotherapies derived from plants as alternatives to chemicals, and biofertilizers using nitrogen-fixing bacteria to replace inorganic fertilizers. The goal is to develop sustainable aquaculture practices that safeguard resources for future generations.
The biofloc is a protein-rich aggregate of organic material and microorganisms that forms in aquaculture systems. Biofloc technology maintains water quality and provides nutrients by balancing carbon and nitrogen through the addition of carbon sources like molasses. It has been successfully used in tilapia and shrimp farming and allows for high stocking densities through natural water treatment. Key factors that must be controlled include carbon to nitrogen ratio, dissolved oxygen, pH, and ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels.
Fins are the most distinctive morphological features of fish and they plays a predominant role for locomotion of fish under the water. It is important to know how many kinds of fins are present and their precise functions.
The document provides information on the culture of mud crabs. It discusses the scientific classification of mud crabs, their biology, hatchery technology, and culture methods. Mud crabs can be cultured through monoculture or polyculture. They reach market size within 6 months when cultured and common diseases include white spot disease and bacterial shell diseases. The document concludes that mud crab farming is becoming popular due to demand and provides alternative livelihood opportunities through crab fattening.
Conventional protein sources for aqua feedDr. Smit Lende
Aquaculture production reached 60 million tonnes in 2010 with a value of $119 billion, contributing 36.9% of total fisheries production. Over 46% of aquaculture depends on external feed inputs which are expensive. Fishmeal is the major protein source but supplies are limited and prices are high, creating an urgent need to find alternative protein sources like animal byproducts, plant proteins from soy, corn and oilseeds, and microbial sources like algae and yeast. Sustainable aquaculture feed development must consider economics, local ingredients, research, and small farmers.
Fish reproduction typically involves external fertilization of eggs and sperm. There are three main modes of sexual reproduction: egg-laying, live-bearing with no maternal nourishment, and live-bearing with maternal nourishment. Development stages include eggs, embryos that depend on yolk or maternal nourishment, larvae that are not fully functional, juveniles that are small but functional, and reproductively mature adults. Fish development can be indirect with distinct larval stages, intermediate with embryonic yolk stage and little larval period, or direct with juveniles resembling miniature adults.
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.
Broodstock And Hatchery Management Of Penaeus Monodonsush_p
Shrimp aquaculture is an important and valuable production sector that has been growing rapidly over the past two decades. Success is largely based on the quality of post larvae, particularly their health condition, thus making hatchery production of quality post larvae crucial to the sector’s sustainability. Vietnam is the leading producer of black tiger shrimp in the world with a production of 300,000 tons in 2011, followed by India and Indonesia with a production of 187,900 tons and 126,200 tons respectively.
Major contribution of the tiger shrimp to global shrimp production and the economic losses resulting from disease outbreaks, it is essential that the shrimp-farming sector invest in good management practices for the production of healthy and quality seed. The Indian shrimp hatchery industry has established a detailed guidance and protocols for improving the productivity, health management, biosecurity and sustainability of the sector. Following a brief review of shrimp hatchery development in India, the major requirements for hatchery production are discussed under the headings: infrastructure, facility maintenance, inlet water quality and treatment, wastewater treatment, biosecurity, standard operating procedures (SOPS), the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) approach, chemical use during the hatchery production process and health assessment. Pre-spawning procedures include the use of wild, domesticated and specific pathogen free/ specific pathogen resistant (SPF/SPR) broodstock, broodstock selection and holding techniques, transport, utilization, health screening, maturation, nutrition and spawning, egg hatching; nauplius selection, egg/ nauplius disinfection and washing and holding, disease testing and transportation of nauplii. Post-spawning procedures include: larval-rearing unit preparation, larval rearing/health management, larval nutrition and feed management, important larval diseases, quality testing/selection of PL for stocking, PL harvest and transportation, nursery rearing and record keeping.

An introduction to Bayesian Statistics using Pythonfreshdatabos
This document provides an introduction to Bayesian statistics and inference through examples. It begins with an overview of Bayes' Theorem and probability concepts. An example problem about cookies in bowls is used to demonstrate applying Bayes' Theorem to update beliefs based on new data. The document introduces the Pmf class for representing probability mass functions and working through examples numerically. Further examples involving dice and trains reinforce how to build likelihood functions and update distributions. The document concludes with a real-world example of analyzing whether a coin is biased based on spin results.
An introduction to bayesian statisticsJohn Tyndall
This document provides an introduction to Bayesian statistics. It discusses that Bayesian statistics takes a fundamentally different approach to probability than frequentist statistics by viewing parameters as random variables rather than fixed values. It also uses mathematical tools like Bayes' theorem, priors, posteriors, and Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations. The document explains Bayesian concepts and compares the Bayesian and frequentist perspectives. It argues that Bayesian methods are particularly useful for complex models with many interacting parameters.

A programming language is a set of rules that allows humans to tell computers what operations to perform. Programming languages provide tools for developing executable models for problem domains and exist at various levels from high-level languages that are closer to human language to low-level machine code. Some of the principal programming paradigms include imperative, object-oriented, logic/declarative, and functional programming. Popular high-level languages include FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, C, C++, Java, and markup languages like HTML and XML.
The document summarizes the four generations of computers from 1945 to present day. The first generation used vacuum tubes and were large and unreliable. The second generation used transistors, which were smaller and more durable. The third generation used integrated circuits, making computers even smaller and cheaper. The fourth generation used VLSI technology, allowing millions of transistors to fit on a single chip and making computers widely affordable for homes and schools. Today's computers are classified as fourth generation and have tremendous processing power and data storage capacity.

Ghana has potential to increase fish production through aquaculture to meet demand. A study by Dr. Ansah and Dr. Frimpong analyzed the economic impact of adopting best management practices (BMPs) of using commercial floating fish feed in tilapia pond culture. Their research found that commercial floating feed increased fish yields by 100% compared to traditional sinking feed and increased profitability. Modeling adoption rates, they estimated the net present value of widespread BMP adoption in Ghanaian aquaculture to be US$85 million over 20 years, providing economic and social benefits to producers and consumers.
Krishna presented on the topic of aquaculture and its role in rural development. Some key points include: (1) Aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector and produced over 90 million tonnes globally in 2012, helping to meet the world's increasing demand for protein; (2) Aquaculture plays an important role in rural development by generating employment, utilizing waste, developing infrastructure, and empowering small farmers; (3) Aquaculture also improves nutrition and food security by providing affordable protein to poor communities through small backyard ponds and fish farming.
Due to their nutritional properties, several species of macroalgae have been used as dietary supplements for shrimps and other marine species. Since macroalgae represent a natural source of nutrients in the shrimp’s natural environment, attempts have been done to co-culture macroalgae and shrimps.
The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) has identified aquaculture as a sector with potential to stimulate economic growth, jobs, and food security in member countries. However, aquaculture remains underdeveloped aside from some commercial production. CRFM has developed a five-year action plan for aquaculture development supported by a study confirming its potential economic and social contributions. The growth of aquaculture has been limited by high costs, lack of research and development, policies and legislation, and impacts of weather events. CRFM aims to promote sustainable aquaculture growth through increased investment, improved technology, support services, and policies to increase production and earnings in the region.
This document discusses approaches to securing the livelihoods and nutritional needs of fish-dependent communities given threats from overfishing, climate change, and habitat destruction. It finds that poor and vulnerable populations are most at risk, including one-third of fishers living below the poverty line. Current approaches discussed include alternative livelihoods programs, wealth-based approaches, aquaculture, and shared fisheries governance. Emerging trends observed include experimentation with market-based approaches, interest from new sources of capital, and adoption of a more holistic view integrating conservation, poverty, and food security. The document concludes there are opportunities to better integrate conservation with rights and support successful management regimes, women, innovative financing, and aquaculture

This document summarizes a presentation given by Árni M. Mathiesen at the Near East Regional Group Meeting on March 21st, 2016. The presentation covered several topics:
- Global fish production has shifted from developed to developing countries, where small-scale fisheries are important. Production has also shifted from capture fisheries to aquaculture, particularly in Asia.
- While the degree of overfishing has stabilized over the past 20 years, it remains unacceptably high.
- The main challenges going forward are developing sustainable aquaculture and improving management of small-scale fisheries while accounting for climate change impacts.
Singapore has a small but strategically important aquaculture industry that produces about 5% of the country's fish consumption. Land-based farms produce freshwater fish like snakeheads and tilapia, while coastal farms in netcages along the Johor Straits produce marine fish like seabass, groupers, and snappers. The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore regulates aquaculture through farm licensing and quality control. While live seafood fetches high prices, vacuum-sealed chilled and frozen fish are also important economically. Constraints to sustainable aquaculture development include reliance on wild seed stock; the Marine Aquaculture Centre is working to close fish reproductive cycles and produce seeds commercially to

6. FACTS
6/22/2014IAS-SIET TALK
World population will be 9 billion by 2030
By 2030 total seafood demand estimated to be
over 200 million tons (over $1000 billion)
As early 2015, Aquaculture is expected to surpass
fisheries as main producer of fish
By 2030 Aquaculture will supply 63% of the
demand compared with 2012 at 42%
China’s middle class is expected to reach 375
million by 2025 – greater than the current U.S.
population – China is now net importer of seafood
Global consumption is 19kg per capita/year
(2012) – Singapore 22kg (2010)
8. FACTS 2
6/22/2014IAS-SIET TALK
Fish now accounts for almost 17 percent of the global
population’s intake of protein
Fisheries and aquaculture support the livelihoods of 10–12
percent of the world’s population
In 2012 provided jobs for some 60 million people engaged
in capture fisheries and aquaculture.
Of this 84 percent were employed in Asia
In order to be sustainable, Aquaculture need to be less
dependent on wild fish for feeds
There is greater need to introduce diversity in farmed
cultured species and good practices
