| Abstract | |
| English | The general problem, or aim of the study, and the contribution of GIS, remote sensing and/or mapping to the solving the problem: The state of Rio de Janeiro has recognized its potential for aquaculture development through the years. Several species are cultured in its diverse climatic conditions which range from coastal Mediterranean to warm subtropical, including sub-temperate in the higher altitudes present in the state¿s mountainous areas. A state-wide evaluation of its aquaculture potential was carried out using a combination of digital maps integrated with map layers digitised for this study, through a GIS assisted model. The study allowed the identification of regions with higher potential for implementation or expansion of different types of aquaculture. |
