Slope suitability for ponds
Suitable areas for the construction of fish ponds based on a slope evaluation. Slope was derived from a global digital elevation model (GTOPOP30) in the form of percentages.

- Purpose
- The main objective was to map and estimate the areal expanses having suitable to optimum potential for subsistence and commercial warm water fish farming in ponds. A secondary objective was to encourage countries with relatively large potentials for warm water fish farming development to undertake more detailed, national-level studies as a step towards formulating or refining an aquaculture policy and to improve planning for aquaculture development.

- Supplemental Information
- This map derives from a wider study that evaluates inland fish farming potential at a continental-level, published by J.Aguilar-Manjarrez and S. S. Nath with the title "A strategic reassessment of fish farming potential in Africa" . CIFA Technical Paper. No. 32. Rome, FAO. 1998. 170p. This study is a follow-up of an earlier assessment of warm-water fish farming potential in Africa by Kapetsky (1994) with the objective to assess locations and areal expanses that have potential for warm-water and temperate-water fish farming in continental Africa. Resolution 5 km x 5 km.
