I plan to research the impacts (climatic and man made) of mangrove on fishery stocks. It would be wonderful if I could get some of your expert advice to make my research more precise and accurate.
@ Dear Zsolt Török: Shrimp culture ponds, marine fish culture ponds are increasingly popular in the coastal areas round the world especially within the mangrove ecosystem.
