This research project is built around the analysis and dissemination of a study for sustainable management of small-scale fisheries in Vietnam. Despite the vital contribution to well-beings of coastal
Increased environmental footprint and poor performance of aquaculture has been attributed to lack of information and weak technical knowledge by small scale farmers who are the majority. Using
This collaborative program research will be carried out in 8 countries. The major question is: How does a specific sector of aquaculture in a specific country perform in terms of inputs and outputs
The blooming of aquaculture production, despite contributing greatly to food security and economic growth, gave rise to various environmental problems that affect the industry itself, people’s well
Benefits from aquaculture for livelihood of producers and global food security are well documented, however, concerns from potential impacts on the environment and human health can put this industry
Socioeconomic status (SES) is a multidimensional concept that involves objective markers, such as income, education, and occupation, along with subjective data, which indicate how people perceive their socioeconomic position. Gaps and the lack of linear relationships in objective SES data have supported the need to include subjective markers. This study evaluates the effect of certain critical predictors on the subjective SES of small-scale aquaculture producers in Central-Southern Chile, addressing a gap in research.
The success of Chilean salmon farming’s early cultivation stages is largely facilitated by access to high-quality water, which is provisioned by watersheds dominated by native forests and defined by high precipitation levels. In recent decades, human activities have increasingly affected both attributes. This study analyzed the risk of climate change in 123 watersheds that supply water to land-based salmon farms in south-central Chile (36.5−43°S).
