“…Aquaculture systems Environ Earth Sci (2010) 61:947-961 953 may be potential sources of toxic chemicals such as pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and heavy metals. These contaminants may be released in the marine environment, affecting the population of the native and also the ecological balance, thus triggering social conflicts (Enell 1987;Ross and Horsman 1988;Ross 1989;Gesamp 1991;Pillay 1992;Pillnac 1992;Beveridge et al 1993;Sreenivasa Rao 2006). The Co concentration ranges from 6.45 to 20.40 ppm and gives an average of 13.54 ppm for the core.…”

The Mullipallam creek in Muthupet mangroves region is the only E-W trending coastal strip in the SE coast of India and is very important, as the mangrove acts as a barrier to natural diasters. Natural, anthropogenic signals and accumulation of elements were made by collecting sediment samples at various depths in a core. All sediments were analyzed for carbonates (CaCO 3 ), organic carbon (OC), major (Si, Al, Fe, Na, K, Ca, Mg, P), and trace (Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Co, Pb, Zn). Normalization with Al values has been done for all the major and trace elements and enrichment factors have been calculated. The calculated enrichment factors and comparison indicate that the trace metals (especially Pb) are enriched mainly due to the external (anthropogenic) activities in the land as well as in the coastal zone (Palk Strait).

“…Adverse ecological effects from the use of pesticides, the suspected link with birth defects in birds, fish and rats, and numerous other consequences from the use of agricultural chemicals have effectively motivated public concern. The possible effects of aquaculture chemicals on the quality of the water, sediment and fish in fish farms have been discussed by several authors,2–4 as have the effects on humans who consume fish contaminated with pesticides and the impact on the environment 5–8…”

Kolleru Lake is a freshwater lake in south-eastern India with a high potential for aquaculture. It is located between 61°32' and 61°47'N latitude and 81°15' and 81°27'E longitude. Various chemicals such as pesticides are used to control diseases and ectoparasites in intensive aquaculture farms in India. The main aim of this paper was to determine selected pesticides in water, sediment and ®sh from 12 ®sh farms located in Kolleru Lake in order to assess the quality of ®sh for human consumption and to improve the further risk assessment and management of such chemicals in aquaculture and also to evaluate the impact of aquaculture chemicals on the Kolleru Lake environment. The chemicals used in intensive aquaculture farms were documented. Water, sediment and ®sh samples were collected from the ®sh farms during the production period and analysed for the pesticides a-BHC, g-BHC, malathion, chloropyrifos, isodrin, endosulfan, dieldrin and p,p'-DDT using gas chromatography.

“…However, there are considerable ecological and economic risks in promoting such a proactive policy of aquacultural development. The predilection for minimal regulation in this sector, and development in the face of considerable uncertainty, represents the antithesis of the precautionary principle of environmental management (see Ross 1989;.…”

Summary The crisis in capture fisheries has placed an increased onus on aquaculture to supply the world fish demand. The advancing role of culture relative to capture fisheries has precipitated environmental and socio‐economic transformations. Geographers have paid scant attention to these developments. This paper provides a literature review and proffers a research agenda for aquacultural geography.
