Life cycle assessment was applied to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of Pacific white shrimp production in Songkhla province, southern Thailand. The aims of this study were to investigate the rate of carbon massflow from shrimp feed to Pacific white shrimp, and to study carbon emission from energy consumption for shrimp production during October, 2011 to September, 2012. In total, 17 hatcheries and 111 shrimp farm owners were surveyed and interviewed, and the sample properties were analyzed in laboratories. The results showed that carbon massflow from shrimp feed to shrimp by food consumption was 6.97×10, carbon fixation was 5.20×10, and carbon emission from shrimp was 1.77×10 kg.C/kg.shrimp/day. Furthermore, carbon emission from energy consumption of Pacific white shrimp production was 14.20 kg.C/kg.shrimp/day. This result indicated that Pacific white shrimp farming had significant environmental impacts per kilogram of shrimp meat production. These impacts were mainly ...

PAST AND PRESENT THREATS ON MANGROVE ECOSYSTEM IN PENINSULAR THAILAND

Mangrove areas in Peninsular Thailand have been degraded through over-exploitation for the charcoal industry, un-managed pole-wood extraction and fuel wood harvesting by local people. Recently, much of the forest has entirely disappeared as a result of reclamation for brackish water aquaculture and other land uses. The causal chain analysis technique was implemented to determine the root causes of the loss of mangrove and its associated fauna in Peninsular Thailand. Under each direct threat, the root causes were describe as: lacking knowledge on mangrove ecology and its importance, ignoring attention-grabbing of stakeholders according to the first threat, lacking of public participation in development projects, weakness of law enforcement and fishery pressure (small scale and large scale). Given the root causes for mangrove degradation, the proposed interventions for management of mangrove in Peninsular Thailand can be summarized into 6 categories as followed: Promote local assembly and improve the ability of the government sector to properly manage the mangrove ecosystems, Support integrated researches pertaining to the management of the mangrove ecosystem, Provide knowledge and promote awareness pertaining to the values and importance of the mangrove ecosystem to the local communities and government personnel, Enforce legal measures for the protection of mangrove and the environment, Rehabilitate the degraded coastal ecosystems, Encourage alternate professions and sources of incomes to reduce fishery activities on mangrove ecosystem.

ABSTRACT Looking at the present growth of aquaculture production, it seems feasible that the sector will be able to meet the future challenge and double its production within 30 years. Thus, the interesting question is not if this expansion will take place, but rather how it will be achieved and what the resulting environmental and socio-economic consequences will be. Development of integrated mariculture, i.e. bioremediation via integrated concepts with a capacity to improve the quality of the discharged water, may facilitate the aquaculture industry to avoid non-compliance and gain both direct and indirect benefits from improving water quality and coastal ecosystem health.

The contribution of aquaculture to global fish production has increased in the last twenty years with the production level reaching 73.8 million tonnes in 2014, about 44% of total fish production. Asian and African aquaculture production accounts for a greater proportion of growth in aquaculture output. Aquaculture contributes to livelihoods as well as revenue in several countries even though the economic conditions have been inclement and environmental problems persist. Aquaculture will have to continue to grow to meet the increasing demand for fish. But growth would not be sustainable if the planning and management are not improved significantly. There is a need for local, national and international planning and management to cater for environmental, social, economic, health and animal welfare concerns. These form the core of best management practice in aquaculture. Aquaculture can impact on the environment negatively considering genetics, water quality, ecology, health and resource use while the environment affects aquaculture on three fronts: the cultured species, culture system and overall feasibility. These put together will demand some management effort in order to ensure sustainability of aquaculture depending on the application of site selection and carrying capacity assessment, aquaculture hazard and risk analysis, ecosystem-based approach to aquaculture, aquaculture governance and planning, and aquaculture certification and standards. These are discussed in this chapter.

Southeast Asia, a Subregion of the Asia-Pacific Region, is composed of countries of diverse socio-economic circ*mstances. Fisheries production, particularly that of the aquaculture sector, is relatively developed and is important to the economy of this area. Some 80 economic aquatic species are the subject of culture. Many of these species, which include fin fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and seaweeds, are produced in consequential quantities. Total production from the Subregion in 1983 amounted to about 880 000 mt which represented nine percent of total world aquaculture production in said year, and a 100% increase in the area within the decade (1975-1983). Unit production is comparatively low as it is usually done with the use of the extensive level of management developed after long years of experience by fish farmers. Higher rate of production in recent years is a trend especially for high value and exportable species like the penaeid shrimps. Aquaculture production tends to have ...
