These political-economic dimensions, though present in all the cases addressed by papers in this special issue, and tackled by Kruijssen et al (2018) and Saguin (2018), require more explicit recognition, attention and integration into future aquaculture value chain research.…”

“…Four papers in this special issue (Hernandez et al 2018;Saguin 2018; provide strong evidence for an urban domestic-market-driven "quiet revolution" as one of the defining characteristics of Asian aquaculture development. In doing so these papers provide a counterpoint to the 'export bias' in much of the GVC inspired aquaculture literature.…”

“…This is apparent in Yi et al's (2018) study of Indonesian shrimp, Kominsky et al (2018) and Kassam and Dorward's (2018) studies of Zambia and Ghana, and Asche et al's (2018) study of Norwegian salmon.Sixth, product differentiation has occurred over time in line with the product cycle, as species become commoditized, prices have fallen, and new 'niche' species have been introduced as alternatives, ultimately undergoing commoditization themselves(Hernandez et al, 2018). In all cases, this process (along with improved production and logistical efficiencies that occur with commoditization and modernization) has resulted in farmed fish becoming accessible to greater numbers of low income consumers (seeDorward and Kassam 2018;Saguin 2018;Belton et al 2018).…”

This paper introduces a special issue of Aquaculture that brings together the largest collection of research on aquaculture value chains compiled to date, comprising 19 individual papers and this introductory review. The introduction identifies five themes emerging from research on aquaculture value chains in the special issue, namely: multi-polarity, diversity and scale, dynamics of transformation, performance and equity, and technical and institutional innovation. Contrary to much research to date, the papers addressing these themes show how the expansion of aquaculture has resulted highly diverse configurations of production for consumption in the global South. Collectively, the papers highlight the need for greater attention to neglected value chain segments and categories of actor, modes of production, regulation, and innovation, and patterns of access to benefits. The papers synthesized also affirm the need for more rigorous and diverse future value chain research to illuminate the aquaculture sector's ongoing development, and contribute to the sustainable expansion as an increasingly important component of the global food system.

“…Central governments and the corporate sector often employ a macroperspective and perceive aquaculture as a suitable strategy to pursue in order to stimulate coastal economies and to reduce persistent overfishing, but how and to what extent have local elites as well as households engaged in aquaculture embraced this strategy? To answer this question, it is also essential to take into account micro-level issues (Saguin, 2018). Relatedly, one key result emerging from a special issue on aquaculture is that the well-being of value chain actors remains an important aspect to study (Bush, Belton, Little, & Islam, 2019, p. 433).…”

This article investigates collective action dynamics and local politics amidst Philippine seaweed-growing communities. Government agencies and civil society organizations generally encourage collaboration at village level through the formation of cooperatives and associations, often on the assumption that it facilitates the translation of economic growth into rural poverty reduction. Here, we explain how the formation of associations is entangled with the local and central state politics. We argue that civil society initiatives cannot be analysed separately from local and communitylevel politics. This contribution reveals a gap between the objectives of rural, coastal associations, and the organizational capacities of communities to sustain such initiatives. Utilizing community support as a means to compensate for market and government failures does not only depend on a facilitative policy environment and start-up support but also on household-level capabilities. It also demonstrates that in addition to the interests of big business and national-level politics, village-level politics can obstruct effective and sustained implementation of value chain interventions.

Developing countries such as the Philippines have an increasing urbanization rate, resulting in both the positive and negative effects of socioeconomic growth, including environmental degradation. Thus, the emergence of research on the ecological interactions in urban ecosystems has been given more attention throughout the years. This systematic review gathered relevant studies from research platforms such as Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar to assess the trends in urban ecology research based on publication date, study area, number of citations, methods employed, and most used keywords. 105 were recorded from 1982 to 2023, with 2022 having the most published studies. Most studies were conducted in Metropolitan Manila, Luzon Island, a region with high population density and economic activity. Employing survey questionnaires (21.4%), GIS and remote sensing techniques (16.8%), and biodiversity assessments (18.3%) were the methods that were mainly used in the studies recorded. The thematic analysis has subdivided the studies into urban landscape, urban systems, bio-ecological, and human ecology-based approaches in the context of the Philippines. Science-based solutions integrated each fundamental disciplines of urban ecology in studying Philippine cities can address the gaps exhibited. Although the country's scientific knowledge in urban ecology has evolved, this comprehensive review exposes the knowledge gaps in a temporal manner, especially in further studying Visayas and Mindanao islands and smaller peri-urban areas. Expanding to multidisciplinary approaches is recommended for more thorough understanding of Philippine urban ecology, which will help in decision-making toward a more sustainable future for Philippine cities.
