The majority of production takes place in specific ponds throughout the year. This is done in a traditional way (extensive) with ponds of 1.5 ha and bigger, such as in Kerala and West Bengal or a semi-intensive way with ponds below 0.5 ha, as in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and Odisha.The latter production technique entails technical modifications and investment in fertilizers, pumps and construction. In traditional ponds different species (brackish and freshwater) are produced simultaneously and their growth rate is higher than in semi-intensive ponds. Often, farmers produce other products as well. 90% of the farmers in marine and brackish aquaculture own less than have difficulties obtaining finances for investments The shrimp production is however highly profitable.

This prohibition is not for traditional or improved traditional ponds. Additionally, the court ruled that an authority for protecting the environment of the coastal area had to be established. This Aquaculture Authority has been founded and resorts under the Ministry of Agriculture. The organization issues licenses to eligible farms, feed and hatchery companies only. Although the use of farmland for aquaculture is not allowed everywhere, possibilities may exist with the combined use of agriculture and aquaculture through rice cultivation during the rainy months and shrimp cultivation during the rest of the year, as is done in Kerala and West Bengal. Moreover, in line with the Indian priorities, existing swamps and derelict waters offer a huge potential for the production of catfish. Marine

Introduction In 1867, the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) was created to regulate and control lobster fishing by issuing licenses, creating fishing seasons, documenting quota, regulating how many people could fish lobster, and how many fish could be brought ashore (Campbell, 2017). A hundred and fifty years later, DFO is still in the position to manage the Prince Edward Island lobster fishing industry. This is not the beginning of the story and this paper will discuss the people who fished off PEI before DFO was created; scientific information needed to know before fishers can catch lobster; the evolutionary technological changes in the lobster fishing industry. The purpose of this paper is to share more information about

Exploitation of these essential fishes and pollution of the water could greatly destroy the bank systems and cause a rippling effect among the ecosystem. Knowing how important these bank systems are, they should receive additional protection through management zones. New management actions will help protect fish and stocks, to ensure the stability of recreational and commercial fisheries. To ensure a higher water quality and sustainable habitats, anchoring activities and vessel discharges will be restricted in the management zones. Some management zones containing sensitive wildlife habitats will be restricted to public

Books that greet readers at the book store, with their crisp, white pages leading them to extravagant otherworlds, their persuading words within captivating stories luring their readers deeper, are often provokers of reflective and contemplative thought. In Julia Alvarez’s poem, On Not Shoplifting Louise Bogan’s The Blue Estuaries, she tackles the admiration one feels from such unique books and the discovery one makes from them. In this poem, Alvarez uses poetic devices such as metaphors and imagery to portray the main character’s attitude of overpowering awe and inspiration about her discovery of the book, and her love of writing, which convinces her to not keep the book and to develop the love of writing for herself. Imagery is a poetic

Fish can reach marketable size of 3 kg in 12–15 months. California yellowtail, Seriola lalandi proved to be a suitable candidate for marine aquaculture. Because the juveniles of California yellowtail are not easily available from the wild, hatchery produced juveniles are produced for aquaculture projects whereas the largest operations do exist in Australia. Aquaculture initiatives have been attempted in cages and land-based systems in New Zealand supported by hatchery-produced fingerlings. Japan is the key importer and consumer of California yellowtail whereas the species is also cultured and consumed as

As per the context of the case study, we have come up with three possible actions that can be taken in order to meet the excess inventory problem are geographical expansion and increasing the market size by covering the untapped market in South and Central parts of America or making an internal agreement with a small manufacturing company that imports raw fishes and produces fish allied products such as fish oil, fish sauce, etc. Else we can launch a ‘Limited Edition Product’ by increasing the quantity per package at the existing price and providing exciting offers. The underlying cause of excess inventory in Neptune Gourmet Seafood is due to limited target market size. Neptune has to identify areas that are isolated from its product and enter new geographic markets.

Thus different perceptions exist of the socio-economic benefits and cost of aquaculture development. Evidence from available surveys of attitudes on socio-economic concerns recommends that the strongest reception of aquaculture is generally found when local communities benefit directly from the industry (Katranidis, Nitsi and Vakrou, 2003; Whitmarsh and Palmieri, 2009; Mazur and Curtis, 2008). In developing countries, particularly, small-scale aquaculture development can add extensively to local communities as a supplier of healthy animal protein to advance the nutrition of poor people (Irz et al., 2007; Ahmed and Lorica, 2002). In addition, aquaculture growth can boost the supply of fish in local markets, thus making it more affordable (Irz et al., 2007).
