Abstract

In the developing world, aquaculture is a growth industry. The cultivation of shrimp and fish in tanks or excavated ponds yields high returns and earns much-needed foreign exchange. However, it is the location of these tanks and ponds that critically determines whether this is a sustainable activity, whether fragile environments are degraded or maintained and whether the net returns are the result of profit-maximizing or mere cost-shifting.
