Improving livelihoods from productive aquatic farming systems and sustainable fisheries The Fisheries Program brokers research partnerships to improve food security and fishers’ livelihoods through productive aquatic farming systems and sustainable wild-catch fisheries. It aims to improve human health and wellbeing by making food systems and policies more nutrition-sensitive.
This project aimed to improve the sustainability of a large and well developed, but low technology, ornate spiny lobster grow-out industry in Vietnam, and to address the knowledge gap that is limiting the establishment of a P. ornatus grow-out industry in Australia. With most capture lobster fisheries either fully or more often over-exploited, and in decline, aquaculture appears to be the only long-term way of meeting the insatiable market demand for lobster.

This project aims to identify and review options, opportunities and risks for brackish aquaculture in the southern Indus Basin, as a potentially transformative adaptation strategy for areas affected by salinity. Salinity problems in Pakistan’s agriculture have been apparent since 1892, and much work has been done over the years, largely adopting engineering approaches to the problem.
This project established a sustainable aquaculture industry for giant grouper in Vietnam and the Philippines through the development of captive breeding and larval-rearing techniques. View project page.
Aquaculture of high-value finfish species, such as groupers, is an industry of increasing importance throughout the Asia-Pacific
Until recently, mud crabs have only been reared from stock captured from the natural environment, in those countries where they are being farmed
ACIAR cosponsored a workshop in Perth, Western Australia in August 1997
The aim of this project is to assess the potential for Portuguese oyster aquaculture to contribute to carbon sequestration in Vietnam and explore opportunities to reduce climate change impacts by shell recycling and value adding, including through the use of carbon crediting mechanisms.
This publication reviews the current state of knowledge of inland capture fisheries and aquaculture in Myanmar, using data from the past decade. The book aims to highlight challenges and opportunities in Myanmar’s fisheries sector, and to contribute to information sharing and capacity building for better management and sustainable use of the country’s inland aquatic resources.
