Video on Climate Risk Reduction in Aquaculture

Abstract

Just like feed, lime, fertilizer, and so on, weather is an input for aquaculture. We grow fish better in good weather. Unfavorable weather events hamper the growth of fish. This is a risk for all farmers, but our farmers do not consider this such a “risk.”The risks from weather can be minimized if the right decisions are made based on the weather forecast and considering the existing context of the ponds. Of course the type and magnitude of the risk will vary from pond to pond even during the same weather event. The video is about how to reduce climate related risk in aquaculture
