Description

Abstract: The Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture CRSP has conducted basic research since 1983 on the biological and chemical factors that influence fish production. The Goal of these studies is the improved well-being of farmers that adopt new aquaculture technologies. The ultimate test of the value of the research results generated is if farmers themselves demonstrate the economic benefit by incorporating new technologies into their farming systems. Therefore, economic analysis of the costs and benefits to the farmer of the various technologies developed will provide insight into the value of these technologies to farmers.
