Literature
        
Review of the literature is an essential starting point for any endeavour in GIS, remote sensing, or mapping. Yet, reviews are often incomplete for lack of access to the material, and consequently projects experience durations that are longer and costs that are higher than need be because the accumulated knowledge has not been tapped and taken advantage of. This page sets out to mitigate that problem. It is a gateway to the literature that represents much of the accumulated global experience on using GIS, remote sensing and mapping to solve problems and issues in aquaculture and inland fisheries. Spatial issues addressed most frequently for aquaculture and inland fisheries are listed in two tables in issues section along with the number of literature records currently contained in GISFish databases. Four recent studies available for download in issues section provide background information on GISFish databases.

TitleRecommendation Domains for Pond Aquaculture

Content Language(s)English
Abstract / DescriptionAn informed basis for recommending particular aquaculture practices and technologies would increase the chances of their successful and sustained adoption. Fundamental to this recommendation is the ability to identify where and under what conditions various types of aquaculture would be feasible, and to recognize what constraints exist that need to be overcome. These are challenges faced by planners, managers, extensionists and researchers concerned with aquaculture development.

A three-year research project was conducted to address these challenges by developing and supplying the tools for integrative analysis to support informed decision-making related to promoting and scaling out target pond aquaculture technologies. The project was piloted in four countries – two in Africa (Cameroon and Malawi) and two from Asia (Bangladesh and China). A DVD-ROM compilation of the research project’s outputs has been produced (WorldFish DVD 1891). Click here to access the contents of the DVD-ROM online.

You can also create your own copy of the DVD-ROM version of this product by clicking here to download a copy of the ISO disc image. (Warning: the disc image file, which is zipped, is 670 megabytes so it may take a long time to download, depending on your internet connection speed.)

Once you have downloaded the file, unzip to extract the disc image, open your CD/DVD burning software and look for an option to "Burn disc from ISO file/image...". Select the ISO disc image file that you just downloaded, insert a blank DVD, and then start the burning process.
