The sixteen papers in this volume were largely based on the data from a survey of more than 5,000 shrimp and close to 6,000 carp farms in sixteen countries and territories in the Asia-Pacific region. This survey was conducted under the ADB/NACA regional study and workshop on aquaculture sustainability and the environment (RETA 5534). The contents of the volume are as follows:

Part I: Shrimp

  • Overview of the world shrimp industry.
    Bith-Hong Ling, PingSun Leung and Yung C. Shang.
  • Comparing Asian shrimp farming: The domestic resource cost (DRC) approach.
    Bith-Hong Ling, PingSun Leung and Yung C. Shang.
  • Comparative economics of shrimp farming in Asia.
    Yung C. Shang, PingSun Leung and Bith-Hong Ling
  • Intercountry productivity comparisons of black tiger shrimp culture in Asia.
    PingSun Leung and Lokugam H.P. Gunaratne
  • Asian black tiger shrimp industry: A meta-production frontier analysis.
    Lokugam H.P. Gunaratne and PingSun Leung
  • Productivity analysis of Malaysian cultured shrimp industry.
    Lokugam H.P. Gunaratne and PingSun Leung
  • Export performance of major cultured shrimp producers in the Japanese and US markets.
    Bith-Hong Ling, PingSun Leung and Yung C. Shang
  • Behaviour of price transmissions in vertically coordinated markets: The case of frozen black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon).
    Bith-Hong Ling, PingSun Leung and Yung C. Shang
  • A logistic regression of risk factors for disease occurrence on Asian shrimp farms.

    Khem R. Sharma and PingSun Leung
  • Technical efficiency of carp production in Nepal: An application of stochastic frontier production function approach.
    Khem R. Sharma and PingSun Leung
  • Technical efficiency of carp production in Pakistan.

NACA publishes technical papers and manuals for a wide variety of farming systems and related environmental and social issues. Many of these provide guidance on better management practices with a view to improving crop outcomes and on-farm resource utilisation efficiency. By using inputs such as feed and power more efficiently, farmers can simultaneously improve their profitability and environmental performance.
