“…Aquaculture activities have been improved significantly in recent years, aiming at increased production targets (Hadipour et al . ). The socio‐economic benefits derived from aquaculture expansion provide nutritious foods and improve the lifestyle of the poor, as well as generating income and employment opportunities, diversifying fish production, and creating scope for earning foreign exchange through export of high‐value products (Hossain & Das ).…”

Freshwater fish ponds, besides producing fish, function as valuable aquatic habitats, contribute to the maintenance and enrichment of the quality of the ecosystem, play an important role in water and landscape management, provide services for various recreational activities and contribute to the preservation of the cultural heritage. The multifunctional character of pond fish farming has been recognized for long time; however, recently it has also been realized that the deliberate multidirectional use of fish ponds (production, angling, recreation, education, etc.) offers additional economic benefits. Experience with the operation of multifunctional fish farms in Hungary has clearly shown that the diversification of activities is a promising alternative during the development of sustainable pond fish farming. However, further efforts are required to investigate the specificities and applicability of the various factors and also the optimal ratio between them to utilize the opportunities offered by multifunctional use of freshwater fish ponds. Research on multifunctional pond fish farming has mainly been limited to descriptions of the various functions of fish ponds, for example environmental services. However, the attitude of farm managers towards the possible multifunctional use of their farming system has never been investigated. In this study, the importance of the various existing or potential functions of a pond fish farm and their role in the future development of multifunctional pond fish farms have been investigated through the analysis of the appraisal of experienced farm managers by analytic hierarchy process. The results of the research provide empirical evidence that can be used for the elaboration of policies, development strategies, R&D and the legal frameworks needed for the sustainable development of multifunctional pond fish farming.

“…In this sense, it is not surprising that this is one of the most addressed questions in the context of MCDM in aquaculture (Halide et al 2009;Guiqin et al 2010;Hemmantayar et al 2011;Mahalakshmi et al 2012;Mamat et al 2014;Hadipour et al 2015;Vafaie et al 2015). In our study, we used analysis of hierarchical processes (AHP) coupled with geographic information system (GIS) was used.…”

In operations research, there are methodological tools included in decision theory that can help decision‐makers understand and systematize the decision‐making process. Decisions can be classified either as mono‐criterial, when only one criterion or goal is considered to evaluate its performance or multicriterial, which takes into account the interaction between two or more goals or criteria that can be in conflict. Natural resource management and finance are some important examples where the implementation of this type of tools has benefited the decision‐making process because they allow a number of criteria or objectives to be weighted in a transparent manner to assist when one or more decision‐makers are involved. Despite this, its application was not common in aquaculture; however, in recent years, efforts have increased exponentially. This work seeks to identify opportunity areas for development of new aquaculture‐related research through the implementation of multicriterial decision‐making methods (MCDM). To achieve this, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis was performed to detect MCDM applications that have been implemented in aquaculture industry (24 documents that were grouped into eight applications). Later, this information was complemented through the analysis of selected applications in natural resources management, specifically in fisheries, animal husbandry and agriculture. We propose 23 research topics relevant to the aquaculture industry that can be addressed by the methodologies in MCDM.

“…Besides, aquaculture has allowed the integration of new functions in the intensification processes of agricultural areas (Lazard, Rey‐Valette, Aubin, Mathé, Chia, Caruso, Mikolasek, Blancheton, Legendre, Rene, Levang, Slembrouck, Morissens & Clément ). However, the major problems for aquaculture growth are as follows: the territorial restrictions due to the limitation of potentially productive sites, the availability of infrastructure and the conflicts with other production activities (Radiarta, Saitoh & Miyazono ; Hadipour, Vafaie & Hadipour ; Alexander, Potts, Freeman, Israel, Johansen, Kletou, Meland, Pecorino, Rebours, Shorten & Angel ). Furthermore, mismatches between soil suitability and land‐use regimes (and intensity) have generated significant environmental impacts all over the world (Matson, Parton, Power & Swift ; DeFries, Foley & Asner ).…”

Multiscalar land suitability assessment for aquaculture production in Uruguay

et al. 2016

This article presents a highly detailed territorial assessment for aquaculture production in Uruguay and a methodology to identify the most suitable areas in order to develop the activity. Furthermore, it proposes the basis to generate a dynamic modelling tool of high spatial resolution to support the decision-making process regarding national aquaculture activities. The modelling structure of aquaculture suitability was developed by the construction of a hierarchical model, combining a multicriteria assessment and a geographic information system. Fortyone attributes were integrated in six aptitude models: one model for each one of the five common production systems intended to be the most viable in Uruguay and a sixth aptitude indicator that summarizes those five systems, representing the maximum suitability for aquaculture activities. In addition, the hierarchical model allows measurement and identification of relative weights of each model, according to the planning scale, ranging from basin to cell.
