“…The potential for productivity in Mirsharai is promising, attributed to the application of scientific and technical knowledge concerning stock enhancement, seed production, traditional aquaculture methods, and efficient pond management systems [48,49]. Essential resources such as fish seeds, feeds, and other on-farm inputs are readily available to most pond and gher owners [50][51][52][53][54][55].…”

Aims: This study aims to comprehensively assess the fisheries resources in the Mirsharai coastal area of Chattogram district, focusing on their contribution to both local and national economies. The research seeks to identify challenges and vulnerabilities, particularly those arising from climate change, impacting pond owners, fish farmers, hatchery owners, and nursery owners in the region. Study Design: The study adopts a cross-sectional design, employing field surveys and interviews to collect data on fish production, and challenges faced by stakeholders. The cross-sectional approach allows for a holistic understanding of the current state of fisheries resources and their interactions with climatic factors. Place and Duration of Study: The research was conducted in Mirsharai, a coastal upazila of Chattogram district, Bangladesh. The study encompasses data collected during the January to December 2016, providing insights into the dynamics of fish production, and challenges faced by fisheries stakeholders in Mirsharai. Methodology: Field surveys were conducted to gather quantitative data on fish production from both capture and culture fisheries. Additionally, interviews with pond owners, fish farmers, hatchery owners, and nursery owners were conducted to qualitatively assess the impact of challenges faced by fisheries stakeholders in Mirsharai on their operations and economic well-being. The combination of quantitative and qualitative methods ensures a comprehensive analysis. Results: The average fish production in capture fisheries was determined to be 63 kg/ha, while culture fisheries, specifically pond aquaculture, yield an average of 1656 kg/ha. The results highlight the significant impact of challenges faced by fisheries stakeholders in Mirsharai on the local fisheries sector, revealing challenges related to market timing, post-larvae availability, and pricing that affect the economic sustainability of stakeholders. Conclusion: The findings underscore the vulnerability of Mirsharai's fisheries to challenges faced by fisheries stakeholders in Mirsharai, emphasizing economic losses for fish farmers, hatchery owners, and nursery owners. The conclusion calls for urgent adaptive measures and climate-resilient strategies in the fisheries sector to ensure sustainability and viability in the face of evolving climatic conditions. Implication: This study has implications for fisheries management and policy development, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to address climate-induced challenges and sustain the economic well-being of fisheries stakeholders in the Mirsharai coastal area.

“…Farming entails some form of intervention in the rearing process to enhance production such as regular stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc. and also implies individuals or corporate ownership of the stock being cultivated [7][8][9]. One of the ways to implement responsible and sustainable fisheries management is through an ecosystem approach [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

This study examines the application of the concept developed in the last decade, namely the Ecosystem Approach to Aquaculture (EAA). This approach balances social goals with human state and their interactions with ecosystem. The EAA is a strategy for integrating activities within the wider ecosystem in such a way that it promotes sustainable development, equity, and resilience of interlinked social and ecological systems. Case studies in three locations, namely Pinrang, Aceh Besar and South Lampung, were conducted to draw lessons in order to formulate a general framework for wider application in this country. The potential application of the concept was examined based on the following aspects: (i) ecosystem sustainability, (ii) justice welfare, and (iii) good governance. Data were collected through surveys guided with previously designed questionnaires, invlolving 179 respondents selected purposively from exixting shrimp cultivator. Data were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using the Stata software. Results showed that there was a difference between weights determined in the technical guidelines and those resulting from PCA, which was indicated by various existing conditions in research location. This is a significant finding that is relevant in in developing EAA in Indonesia.

“…With the Earth's extensive water coverage, there is a rich abundance of natural fish stocks (despite a depleting trend due to uncontrolled overfishing and pollution), and the availability of water sources enables the cultivation of diverse aquatic organisms (Sala et al, 2021;Araujo et al, 2022). Seafood, a rich source of protein and quality unsaturated fatty acids, has steadily increased production and consumption.…”

In response to the escalating global demand for nutritious food, particularly animal protein, aquaculture has emerged as a vital and expanding sector in addressing food security and nutritional needs. This study explores the development, challenges, and prospects of North African countries' fisheries and aquaculture sectors, focusing on Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. Despite the rich marine ecosystems and substantial contributions to national economies and employment, most of these regions face several challenges in fisheries management due to limited knowledge, weak institutional frameworks, and insufficient international cooperation. The paper highlights significant initiatives, such as the Moroccan Halieutis plan, Algeria's ambitious targets for aquaculture production, aiming to enhance sustainable practices and sectoral growth, and the rapid development of Egypt and Tunisia in terms of aquaculture. Aquaculture, particularly in Egypt, has shown remarkable progress, accounting for a significant portion of fish production, with tilapia and mullets being the predominant species. However, the potential for aquaculture still needs to be explored across North Africa, where various socio-economic and environmental barriers hinder it. The study calls for improved management strategies, enhanced research and training, and greater investment in aquaculture to ensure sustainable development of the fisheries sector, ultimately contributing to food security, economic growth, and conservation of marine biodiversity.
