No results found.AQUACULTURE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT, AIMED AT IMPROVING FOOD SUPPLY AND GENERATING MORE INCOME FOR POOR FARMING HOUSEHOLDS. Ponds add value to farming activities: water from ponds can serve domestic and livestock water supplies as well as irrigation for crops. Raising fish is an obvious use for a farm pond; it adds value to the water and provides improved nutrition for farm families. This booklet provides basic and practical information on multiple-use smallholder farm ponds. Information is provided on the role of development organizations, opportunities for and pitfalls of providing assistance, direct and indirect support required, and the strategic and technical challenges of making farmers self-reliant. It suggests ways by which smallholder farmers can participate in the market economy through better market access and outlines strategies to attract the private sector to do business with smallholders. -

Book (stand-alone)A review and synthesis of capture fisheries data in Thailand.
Large versus small-scale fisheries
2008Also available in:
No results found.Fisheries play a significant role in Thailand in terms of sustaining food security and contributing to the local and national economies. The consumption of fish in Thailand (per person) is double that of the world average, highlighting the general preference for fish as a source of protein in Thailand. During the period 2001 to 2003, Thailand was the second largest global exporter of fishery commodities (in terms of value), highlighting the importance of this sector in the Thai economy. This r eport examines the current status of production and participation in large-scale and small-scale fisheries in Thailand. It also looks at both the marine and inland capture fisheries of the country and capture fisheries out of Thai waters by Thai fishing boats. The main conclusion of this report is that inland capture fisheries are considered to be underestimated by a factor of at least five, suggesting considerable undervaluation of this resource. Furthermore, a large proportion of Thailand's reported marine capture production comes from outside the country's exclusive economic zone. Inland capture fisheries are possibly overlooked in terms of food security and probably make a larger contribution to food security than the marine capture fisheries, especially as a significant proportion of the latter is targeted at the production of fish feed and animal feed.
