Thai Marine Biology

This is an introduction to the marine biology of Thailand. The above photo is a tilapia fishery at a local family’s mixed-crop farm. The other pond on the property much like this one, was over-crowded and needed to be air-rated to get enough oxygen to the fish. Over production is a major environmental issue with both local farms and mass-production farms as Thailand attempts to maintain it’s identity in the fishery sector. With a strong legacy for shrimp in addition to fish like tilapia, Thailand’s marine sector is being drastically changed to get everybody some shrimp with in-land shrimp farming.
