Major activities during the study | Research output | Reference |
Development of a data driven method for identifying areas most suitable for hard clam aquaculture in Florida USA using GIS and SRS. | Identified areas of the Indian River Lagoon on the Florida east coast and Charlotte Harbor on the Florida west coast that suits hard clam aquaculture | [22] |
Development of an optimum location selection technique to transfer mangrove oyster Crassostrea rhizophorae raft culture technology to selected coastal communities in Margarita Island, Venezuela. | Multiple Criteria Evaluation was used to generate a map of the optimum sites for oyster aquaculture | [23] |
Building up a spatial database using those criteria which were considered to have any influence in integrating marine fish-cage culture within the tourism industry in Tenerife (Canary islands). | Three model Criteria (distance to beaches, nautical sports, and view shed), which were mapped to show the most suitable areas for cage culture development in coexistence with tourism | [24] |
Identification of the most suitable sites for hanging culture of Japanese scallop using geographic information system (GIS)-based multi-criteria evaluation models | A series of GIS models was developed to identify the most suitable areas for scallop culture using weighted linear combination | [25] |
Identify the zones of high clam abundance and develop a model to explain the impact of environmental variables and dredging on clam biomass in an estuary | Developed GIS based IDW-model for the temporal clam biomass distribution in the Vembanad estuary and also during dredging identifying the dominant variable controlling the distribution in each season. | Present study is a combination of different strategies adopted by the earlier researchers with a better mapping protocol based on dominant variables.
