The main objective was to map and estimate the areal expanses having suitable to optimum potential for subsistence and commercial warm water fish farming in ponds. A secondary objective was to encourage countries with relatively large potentials for warm water fish farming development to undertake more detailed, national-level studies as a step towards formulating or refining an aquaculture policy and to improve planning for aquaculture development.
