Large-scale climatic effects on traditional Hawaiian fishpond aquaculture

Large-scale climatic effects on traditional Hawaiian fishpond aquaculture

Aquaculture accounts for almost one-half of global fish consumption. Understanding the regional impact of climate fluctuations on aquaculture production thus is critical for the sustainability of this crucial food resource. The objective of this work was to understand the role of climate fluctuations and climate change in subtropical coastal estuarine environments within the context of aquacult...

The Effect of Large-Scale Climatic Signals on Rainfall in Mazandaran Province

    Rainfall prognosis plays an important role in drought management and planning of drinking water and agricultural water resources. Also, Future policies can be tailored to optimize spending and maximum productivity. In this study, the effect of large-scale climatic signals on rainfall in Mazandaran province was investigated. The first, the effect of climatic signals on precipitation simultan...

Aquaculture Pond Modeling for the Analysis of Integrated Aquaculture/Agriculture Systems: Fishpond Organic Matter and Nitrogen Dynamics

digestibility if the models are to accurately simulate organic matter transformations in fish ponds. This is especially true for pond management systems that utilize non-conventional feed and fertilizer sources. Munsiri and Boyd (1995) showed that, with the use of a single first-order rate constant to model organic matter degradation, equilibrium conditions were reached in a relatively short ti...

Large - scale effects on meso - scale modeling for scalar transport

The transport of scalar quantities passively advected by velocity fields with a smallscale component can be modeled at meso-scale level by means of an effective drift and an effective diffusivity, which can be determined by means of multiple-scale techniques. We show that the presence of a weak large-scale flow induces interesting effects on the meso-scale scalar transport. In particular, it gi...
