Aquaculture has been a fast-growing industry because of significant increases in demand for fish and seafood throughout the world. Its economic importance is increasing economically. Aquaculture -also known as fish or shellfish farming -refers to the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of plants and animals in all types of water environments including ponds, rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Research...

Paddy-Fish integrated system has been applied by Indonesian farmers. They practiced diversification farming in correlation to get more benefit and minimized risk. The objective of this research was analyse technical economical feasibility paddy-fish at lowland rice field. This used the experimental field method. Fish pond created surrounded with 3 m width 0,5 depth where fish grown for 4 months...

Introduction One of the tragic consequences of rice policies in The Gambia over the past twenty years is how severely they undermined the domestic rice sector. Between 1966-1984, international development assistance had promoted irrigation projects on the country's abundant alluvial swamps. The objective was to create surpluses for national demand by growing the second crop by irrigation. Doubl...

This study assessed the determinants of intensity of improved rice varieties adoption using the Tobit model and also employed. The Heckman Two-stage model was used to identify the determinants of market participation and its potential impact on farming households’ welfare in three states selected from the three notable rice producing ecologies in Nigeria. A crosssectional data of 600 rice farme...

Rice–fish co-cultures have been practiced for over 2000 years, and they tremendous potential in terms of increasing food security economic benefits. However, little research has conducted into achieving stable yields high lodging resistance with regard to rice while simultaneously promoting the harmonious healthy growth fish rice–fish co-culture paddy fields. We a field study aimed at selecting...

BACKGROUND Rice farming activities involve prolonged manual work and human-machine interaction. Prolonged farming risk-exposure may result in lower limb malalignment. This malalignment may increase the risk of lower extremity injury and physical disabilities. However, the prevalence and factors associated with lower extremity malalignment have not yet been reported. This study aimed to investig...

Agricultural biodiversity has a high importance in social-cultural, economic, and environmental aspects, can help adapting to withstanding climate change. Conserving the GIAHS sites important components within them conserve agricultural traditional culture of whole country. This study considered Ifugao Rice Terraces, Dong's Rice-Fish-Duck System, Hani Terraces System as three examples which sho...

Archaeological evidence indicates that fishing was one of the earliest human production activities. Early fishing seems to have been mainly hunting and gathering along shores and inlets with fish farming emerging somewhat later in time. Capture fisheries expanded rapidly in the 19 and 20 centuries AD reaching the peak annual production of over 90 million metric tonnes in the early 1990s. Since ...

The present study was conducted to examine the impact of cage aquaculture on benthic communities in coastal areas (depth 25 to 50 m) from fish farming operations located along the southeastern Black Sea (Ordu-Perşembe, Trabzon-Yomra and Rize central). Sampling was conducted seasonally from April 2007 to 2009. Sediment samples were taken using Ekman Grab (box core- 0.04 m2). Temperature, salinit...
