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.

TitleIntegrating socio-economic data into a spatial framework for aquaculture development

Content Language(s)English
Abstract / DescriptionGIS-based spatial frameworks frequently require integration of data from multiple and disparate sources. Collection and reprocessing of such data is a costly and time consuming exercise. We demonstrate the options and shortcomings of data integration from multiple sources into an aquaculture development framework. We argue that standardized and publicly available socio-economic and administrative datasets are indispensable for integrative rural development planning. We linked socio-economic and administrative datasets from various sources and integrated these into a spatial framework for aquaculture development. We used the IDRISI Andes© software package to map rural development indicators at village and sub-district level for Srisaket province, Northeast Thailand, and explore its use in aquaculture development planning. We also integrated remotely sensed imagery, geo-located ground-truth data and administrative boundaries for targeted areas in Southern Cambodia and the Vietnamese Mekong Delta, in the absence of a comprehensive rural development dataset for those areas. We conclude that a geographically linked set of generic rural development indicators can be useful for aquaculture sector planning, but is often constrained by poor data standards.
