Chapter 6, Economic Indicators of Sustainable Development in Fish Culture

This chapter presents a number of micro and institutional economic indicators for fish farming that arguably satisfy the basic criteria for measuring sustainable development as a human-centred and development-oriented concept. The indicators are suggested as supplements to the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and the Relative Labour Productivity (RLP) methods, which can evaluate aquaculture from a macro, sectoral and firm perspective, to measure the economic dimension of sustainability of the fish culture industry.
