INLAND AQUACULTURE IN INDIA: PAST TREND,PRESENT STATUS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

ABSTRACT

In India, inland aquaculture has emerged as a fast-growing enterprise and a viable alternative to the declining capture fisheries. The present paper is an attempt to assess Indian inland aquaculture with respect to its resource base, output trends, systems and activities, yield gaps, adoption and impact on aquaculturists, economics, returns to inputs, investment needs, and future prospects. The paper is largely based on existing literature and observations made as part of an ICAR-WorldFish demand supply project. Indian aquaculture is primarily limited to inland sector and carp-oriented; for that reason, this activity received special attention. Freshwater aquaculture observed tremendous growth in the past 15 years, but immense scope still exists for horizontal expansion and increases in productivity (vertical expansion). This is evidenced by the fact that the average farm fish yield is only one-third of that achieved in farm trials. The difference was mainly due to much higher input use in on-farm trials. Most of the aquaculturists were practicing extensive aquaculture, but aquaculturists with semi-intensive operations benefited most from adoption of technology. The benefit:cost ratios for different systems of aquaculture varied between 1.22 to 1.86. The return to capital was much higher than the return to labor, due to the low labor input. The semi-intensive aquaculture system would receive the greatest return from projected macrolevel investments, followed by extensive and intensive systems. Dedicated efforts are needed to meet the demand for quality fish seed and feed in order to achieve the desired 45% increase in area and greater than 50% increase in productivity. Based on the observations, activities designed to foster inland aquacultural development in India are recommended.

Promoting Lifelong Learning and Satisfying Farmers' Social and Psychological Needs Through Farmer Field Schools: Views From Rural Greece

Farmer field schools (FFS) represent an alternative lifelong learning approach aimed at enhancing farmers' competences and skills through nonformal education. In this study we examined if farmers' participation in FFS is motivated by their social-psychological needs and whether these needs can be fulfilled through participation in FFS. Findings revealed that the possibility to participate in FFS is higher for farmers who experience lower levels of closeness and connectedness with their community peers and for those who score low on belongingness satisfaction. Furthermore, our analysis confirmed that FFS attendance increases felt community acceptance and facilitates the satisfaction of the belongingness need.     

生态旅游者的心理需求和行为特征研究--以武夷山国家级自然保护区为例

生态旅游者具有特有的心理需求和行为特征.探新求异、放松身心、返朴归真、回归自然、净化心灵是生态旅游者的心理需求.到武夷山的生态旅游者具有如下行为特征:首选的旅游项目是登山和野营,其比例分别为25%和23%;选择1～2个好友结伴外出是最佳出游方式;经济收入和旅游花费比一般旅游者高;在旅游地的停留时间较长;旅游季节多在春秋两季;文化程度比较高;旅游目的地以山、水、森林为首选.研究结果还表明:生态旅游者的队伍在不断壮大,旅游经营者应及时开发适销对路的生态旅游产品.     

鲤鱼饲料磷的需要量研究

选择50g左右的建鲤,随机分成5个处理,每个处理4重复,每重复放鱼12尾。在基础饲料中添加0.65%,1.34%,2.00%,2.65%的Ca(H2PO4)2,其他条件一致,试验期56d,分析饲料中磷添加水平对鲤鱼生产性能的影响。研究结果表明,添加Ca(H2PO4)2为磷源的有效磷水平对鲤鱼的增重有显著的影响(P<0.05),同时表明磷作为一种必需的营养物质对提高鲤鱼增重率、降低饲料系数起重要的作用。但Ca(H2PO4)2的添加量从2%提高到2.65%时,鲤鱼的生产性能没有显著的提高,表明0.55%的有效磷含量已经接近达到鲤鱼最佳生长所需要的水平,而0.68%的有效磷含量可能已经超出鲤鱼最佳生长所需要的水平。     

京津冀一体化背景下北京生态休闲农业发展研究

本研究从京津冀一体化发展的现实需求出发,以推动北京生态休闲农业持续发展为落脚点,诠释了在京津冀一体化发展的背景下北京生态休闲农业的定位,分析了目前北京休闲农业所存在的问题,诸如传统农家乐供给过剩、环境污染、缺乏品牌效应、产业融合度不高等问题;针对以上问题,提出了北京生态休闲农业发展的相关建议,其中包括打造京津冀一体化生态空间、开发生态休闲农业多元主题、研发生态休闲农业创意产品、实现生态休闲农业“社区经营”,为北京休闲农业发展、北京城市建设协调共进提供科学而有力的支持。     

农田灌溉需水与供水系统的研究

结合位山引黄灌区的实际,建立了农田需水模型及引用黄河水供水系统。在雨水丰沛情况下,农作物不需要灌溉;雨水亏缺情况下,灌溉供水顺序一是地下水,二是当地地表水,三是引用外来水。通过农田灌溉需水模型、水文测报系统与研制的供水系统有效结合,为位山引黄灌区的农作物提供了持续、稳定的长效机制,奠定了农业生产发展的稳固基础。     

老芒麦需水特性及灌溉效果的研究

试验结果表明:生长第一年的老芒麦每形成1kg干物质需消耗0.56m3水,生长第二年需消耗0.498m3水,每形成1kg种子需要消耗水分2.766m3;老芒麦生长第一年耗水量最多在抽穗阶段,需水强度达94.35m3/hm2·d;生长第二年耗水最多在拔节到抽穗期,需水强度最高达122.1m3/hm2·d;全生育期灌水4～5次,每公顷灌溉定额2550～3000m3为好.

论教育的人性化

从哲学的角度看，人性就是需要。在教育活动中忽视、压抑学生的需要，就是忽视、压抑学生的人性。在我国的学校教育中普遍存在忽视人性、压抑人性的现象。然而，无论是时代的发展，教育的内在规律还是教育价值的实现都要求教育必须人性化。就我国目前学校教育的现状，要实现教育的人性化主要要从转变教育观念，改善师生关系和教学方法上着手。
