Mariculture is an important part of aquaculture, and it to address global food security nutrition issues. However, seawater environmental conditions are complex variable, which causes large uncertainties in the remote sensing spectral features. At same time, mariculture types distinct because different aquaculture (cage raft aquaculture). These factors bring great challenges for extraction mapp...

Abstract Marine cultivation is an activity in a certain area coastal waters. The development of marine aquaculture Indonesia the future very important for fisheries sub-sector, and one priorities that expected to be driver economic growth. Selection right location factor determining feasibility business analyze characteristics water conditions Sabang Bay, espesially regarding its feasibiity as ...

The Offshore Aquaculture Consortium (OAC) was created as a collaborative, Gulf-wide, interdisciplinary research and development program in response to the U.S. Department of Commerce Aquaculture Policy. OAC research has demonstrated numerous components of offshore aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico including permitting requirements, mooring systems, cage/mooring survival during several hurricane...

The increasing world demand for fish cannot be met by capture fisheries. Aquaculture production is increasing and nowadays cage culture has an important role in meeting the world’s fish demand. The design of the physical structure of a cage is determined by the oceanographic conditions of the culture site. Each design is site-specific and knowledge of the topography, wind force and direct...

The U.S. marine aquaculture industry is extremely young. While catfish and trout culture have existed for many decades, the cultivation of species in marine and coastal environments has only emerged within the last 30 yr. Only 15% of total domestic aquaculture production in 1991 consisted of marine species, with oysters representing 80% of marine aquaculture production. The U.S. marine aquacult...

In their article ‘Freshwater savings from marine protein consumption’ (2014 Environ. Res. Lett. 9 014005), Gephart and her colleagues analyzed how consumption of marine animal protein rather than terrestrial animal protein leads to reduced freshwater allocation. They concluded that future water savings from increased marine fish consumption would be possible. We find the approach interesting an...

Aquaculture is increasingly important world-wide as landings from natural captured fisheries is unable to meet the demand for fish. The Batang Ai Hydroelectric Dam Reservoir, located in Sarawak, Malaysia, has been an aquaculture site for the last 18 years. However, little information is available on the impact of aquaculture on the water quality of the Batang Ai reservoir. Therefore, the object...

A decision support system to assist cage aquaculture managers is presented. The system enables managers to perform four essential tasks: (i) site classification, (ii) site selection, (iii) holding capacity determination, and (iv) economic appraisal of an aquaculture farm at a given site. Based on measurements of water and substrate qualities, hydrometeorology and socioeconomic factors, a cage a...
