Project summary Click here to read the full summary report for the SRS project
Recent research has highlighted the importance of self-recruiting species (SRS) in both natural and managed habitats to the livelihoods of the rural poor. As aquaculture continues to expand through the creation of new habitats and the enhancement of natural habitats and stocks, the availability of SRS will become increasingly linked to their production within aquaculture systems. The purpose of the project is to characterise the role of self-recruiting species in different aquaculture systems, and to develop management approaches that enhance the production of, and access to, such resources by the poor. The project will identify the socio-economic, technical and environmental factors that determine the role of SRS in aquaculture systems, and management strategies to enhance the production of, and access to, such resources for the poor where opportunities exists. These outputs, synthesised in a set of practical guidelines for aquaculture development and extension practitioners and disseminated through a wide range of direct linkages, are expected to maintain and likely enhance the output of SRS in a range of aquaculture systems
