Commercial fish farming potential
Areas with potential for commercial fish farming under three temperature regimes providing for one crop/year (1C) with fair to good growth (FGG), two crops/year with fair growth (FG) and with good growth (GG) in combination with four land-quality factors important for fish farming development and operation; water availability, engineering capability, and economic considerations ranging from all suitable to one suitable and two optimum (S-NO), or all optimum (all 0).

- 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.
