“…Shrimp farmers' attitude to adopting new technology is closely related to their positive perceptions, such as the ease of use, availability of applicable demonstration or pilot projects, and assistance from professionals (e.g., extension officers, researchers, or academicians). The result is also consistent with the study conducted by [9,27], who found that adequate technical and financial support policies, as well as extension services, should be encouraged for farmers; furthermore, it may be more efficient to encourage technology adoption by improving their education through training and retraining programs as well as removing insurance limits. For this reason, small-scale pilots applying the GAPs scheme can be crucial in inspiring shrimp farmers.…”

This study explores the factors influencing shrimp farmers’ adoption of Good Aquaculture Practices (GAPs) in traditionally managed aquaculture ponds cluster in Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The factors influencing shrimp farmers’ decision to apply GAPs to traditional ponds in Pinrang Regency were analyzed using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with structural equation modeling (SEM). The analysis results showed that shrimp farmers’ willingness to adopt GAPs was strongly influenced by their attitude that GAPs can increase their production or income, improve a positive reputation in society, and contribute to improving the aquaculture environment. Meanwhile, the main impetus for adopting GAPs came from exporters or local entrepreneurs and directives and assistance from the relevant government, universities, and academics. The shrimp farmers believe that to maximize the level of application and the adoption of GAPs, improving pond engineering and managing environmental limiting factors are of high priority. The decline in aquaculture pond water quality is closely related to the condition of ponds with problems exchanging water, particularly disposing of aquaculture waste after the operation.

“…However, despite this industry's progress, monocultures still face several challenges and technical problems, including diseases and environmental pollution. For instance, polyculture systems of shrimp crabs have numerous benefits that could contribute to achieving less impact on the environment, enhancing production, and improving discharge effluent quality [161,179]. Shrimp-crab polyculture could achieve a reduction in inorganic nitrogen via microbial assimilation [218], as demonstrated in a recent report on microbial diversity, which was found to be significantly higher in polyculture than in monoculture systems.…”

“…It is revealed that shrimp monoculture severely affects the ecosystem, and thus, integrated aquaculture practices can be a good alternative. Innovative aquaculture practices such mangrove silvo-aquaculture systems [159], rice-crab fish culture [160], intensive pond aquaculture (IPA) or organic aquaculture [161], biofloc systems [162], integrated closed recirculatory aquaculture systems (RAS) [163], water probiotics [164], and constructed wetlands represent potential in developing innovative crab-fish or shrimp polyculture technologies [165]. So far, China has made extensive efforts to encourage aquaculture production by increasing technical advances, which is the main component of Chinese aquaculture development; however, some of the existing challenges and constraints need to be addressed.…”

Intensified agrochemical-based monoculture systems worldwide are under adoption to meet the challenge of human population growth and the ever-growing global demand for food. However, this path has been opposed and criticized because it involves overexploitation of land, monoculture of few species, excessive input of agrochemicals, and adverse impacts on human health and the environment. The wide diversity among polyculture systems practiced across the globe has created confusion over the priority of a single strategy towards sustainable aquaculture development and safer products. Herein, we highlight the significance of polyculture and integrated aquaculture practices in conveying the successful transition of the aquaculture industry towards sustainable development. So far, the established thought is that the precise selection of aquatic species and a focus on compatible and complementary species combinations are supposed to facilitate rapid progress in food production with more profitability and sustainability. Therefore, the advantages of species diversification are discussed from an ecological perspective to enforce aquaculture expansion. This account asserts that a diverse range of aquaculture practices can promote synergies among farmed species, enhance system resilience, enable conservation, decrease ecological footprints, and provide social benefits such as diversified income and local food security.

“…In fact, the new technologies introduced to the youth members in terms of aquaculture farming techniques serve as an avenue for farm enhancement and development in their respective places. Apparently, it is vital to adopt some technologies in aquaculture farming to further enhance and progress the production of aquatic resources that is suitable nowadays (Agboola et al, 2021;N'souvi et al, 2021). So far, there are no members who are fully adopting the said technology on a large scale.…”

Aquaculture farming in the country Philippines has played a vital role concerning employment and food security for every Filipino. This article aimed to look into a piece of information that explicate the factors of aquaculture technology adoption among the 4-H club youth members. The study uses primary data gathered from selected members of 4-H club youth in Southern Leyte, Philippines. Standard descriptive measures were calculated to characterize and describe the collected information and a statistical model were engaged to capture the significant predictors of the adoption of aquaculture technologies among youth. Results revealed that there are only a few (10.17%) of the youth members are adopting aquaculture technology. The members are neutral on their perception of aquaculture technology concerning complexity, economically viable, and environmentally safe. In addition, they disagree on the compatibility and minimal risk of the said technology. The regression model reveals that older adults (p-value<0.1), males (p-value<0.1), and higher income (p-value<0.05) are more likely to adopt the technology. The inverse effect from 4-H coordinator influence (p-value<0.05) and environmental safety characteristics (p-value<0.1) was found in the model regarding adopting the technology. Moreover, youth members are likely to adopt the technology if it is economically viable (p-value<0.05) to them. Hence, it is concluded that if the technology is affordable and understood by the farmers, there is a strong likelihood that they will adopt it in their respective places. The study suggests that the local government must support and implement more training and workshop for aquaculture technology to encourage and educate more youth.
