Abstract
A large-scale survey of aquaculture conditions revealed important climate-related risks (rapid changes in temperature, drought, intense rainfall events, and floods). Existing risk management practices and strategies were documented and the need for locally appropriate aeration options or innovations were confirmed. The project worked to ensure that fish farmers in the Mekong Region have the capacity to manage climate-related risks and adapt to climate change through innovations that contribute to sustainability of aquaculture value-chains. Targeted locations were in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Annexes to the project are comprehensive (pp. 65-995) including details of aquaculture fisheries construction and management.
