Aquaculture: Management, Challenges and Developments

Preface xi

poor location of aquaculture farms, a lack of availability of quality fingerlings
in the right quantities, inadequate feeds and fertilization, relative disadvantage
of aquaculture in comparison to other competing activities and lack of
ownership of the aquaculture farms. This review suggests the following:
firstly, government support in creating an enabling environment in form of
formulating appropriate policy, laws, regulations, guidelines, investments
promotion and regulation of the aquaculture sector is vital. Finally, operating
aquaculture as a business will enable it to address all the determinant factors
for success identified by this study.
