Tropical aquaculture: Need for a strong research base

Roger S. Pullin and Richard A. Neal

Marine Policy, 1984, vol. 8, issue 3, 217-228

Abstract: The authors argue that tropical aquaculture could make a significant contribution to the world fish supply, but is hindered by the absence of an adequate research base. They outline the history of aquacultural research, analyse the problem of the lack of a sustained basic research programme for the development of tropical aquaculture, and propose solutions on the basis of successes in agricultural research.
