Assessment of aquaculture production with special reference to Asia and Europe13Similarly, procurement of water, particularly freshwater, required to expandaquaculture would be a challenge due to <strong>com</strong>peting demands for freshwater byother sectors (as shown in Table 13) and increasingly limited water availability fordevelopment.Margat (1996) estimated that fisheries (including aquaculture) as an economicsector uses water without significant consumption and, hence, water is not lost fromthe hydrosphere. Although in hydrological terms water consumption in aquacultureis low, in physical and qualitative terms, aquaculture may make water unavailable forTable 12Additional pond area required to meet the 2020 aquaculture production target in leading aquacultureproducing countries in AsiaCountryProductionof low-valuespecies in2006 (tonnes)Averagefreshwaterfish production(tonne/ha/year)Bangladesh 642 554 2.8–3.0(semi-intensive)China 16 641 016 7.5–15/1.5 to2 years(semi-intensive);15–22/ 2 years(intensive)India 2 704 883 4–6;10–15(semi-intensive)Approximatepond areaunder culture(ha)Forecastedproduction(tonnes) oflow-valuespecies in 2020Approximateincrease inrequired newpond area (ha)221 570 927 300 319 760(44%)2 971 610 29 139 000 5 203 393(75%)541 000 8 398 700 1 679 740(310%)Indonesia 451 936 2.82 160 261 2 793 1002 578 100Philippines 168 136 3–4 (catfish);1.3–7(semi-intensivetilapia);7–15 (intensivetilapia)Thailand 196 198 3–6 (tilapia andcatfish)9–50 (intensivetilapia)914 422(470%)40 515 1 297 800 312 723(672%)Reference 1Barman andKarim (2007)Weimin andMengqing(2007)Ayyappan andAhamad Ali(2007)FAO (2000)Sumagaysay-Chavoso(2007)128 000 Thongrod(2007)1References cite average fish production and approximate pond area under culture; production figures in column 2 are from FAO(2008a); forecasted production figures in column 5 are authors’ <strong>com</strong>putations based on values from Table 6; figures in column 6are authors’ <strong>com</strong>putations.Table 13Water consumption for irrigation and industrial and domestic uses in selected leading aquacultureproducing countries in AsiaCountry Irrigation (million m 3 ) Industry (million m 3 ) Domestic (million m 3 )China 244 200(85.0%)India 321 300(91.9%)Indonesia 29 500(73.7%)Philippines 15 900(79.5%)Bangladesh 18 000(87.8%)Thailand 24 100(89.0%)Japan 16 700(56.4%)Viet Nam 10 200(70.3%)1995 2025 1 1995 2025 1 1995 2025 1230 900(71.8%)331 700(85.4%)30 300(59.5%)17 100(62.4%)19 200(78.7%)24 700(78.4%)14 800(51.5%)13 100(69%)13 100(4.6%)7 200(2.1%)3 600(9.0%)2 800(14.0%)200(1.0%)1 100(4.0%)9 500(32.1%)2 500(17.3%)31 100(9.7%)15 700(4.0%)7 100(14.0%)7 300(26.6%)500(2.0%)2 500(8.0%)10 300(36.0%)1 400(7.4%)30 000(10.4%)21 000(6.0%)6 900(17.2%)1 300(6.5%)2 300(11.2%)1900(7.0%)3 400(11.5%)1 800(12.4%)59 400(18.5%)40 900(10.5%)13 500(26.5%)3 000(10.9%)4 700(19.3%)4 300(13.6%)3 600(12.5%)4 500(23.6%)1Forecast to 2025 is based on “business as usual” scenario; percentage of water consumption of total water use is givenin parenthesis.Source: Adapted from Rosegrant et al.
