The present study was conducted to examine the development
and validation ofsustainable indicatorsrelated to aquaculture
as a social-ecological system. By reviewing the literature, it
was found about 148 indicators related to sustainable aquaculture
in economic (market-oriented and responsive aquaculture, capability
of risk assessment and crisis management, and financial
management in aquaculture), social (participation in food
security and healthy food, the role of producer and non-governmental
organizations, improving the image of aquaculture,
and social responsibility), environment (minimizing the impacts
of aquaculture at the national level, minimizing the impacts on
the environmental conditions, and biodiversity), and institutional
(local development and participation in decision-making) components.
The extracted components were used in the form of a
questionnaire with a five-point Likert type scale according to
six criteria. Questionnaires were distributed among aquaculture
experts in Alborz Dam Basin in Mazandaran Province, where
32 questionnaires were returned. Research results include
ranking indicators based on a total of six criteria mentioned in
methodology, and ranking components, as well as their
associated indicators related to sustainable aquaculture using
AHP. The findings further suggested that economic and environmental
aspects also were placed as the first and second
ranks among 10 sustainable aquaculture indicators. Accordingly,
it is highly recommended that the agencies related to the
country's aquaculture development paid attention to these
identified dimensions and used them in their planning |
