水产养殖的增长在减贫方面发挥什么作用？从理论上讲，水产养殖的发展可能对穷人产生积极或消极的影响，因此本文回顾了现有的实证文献。几乎没有证据表明水产养殖直接减少贫困，但文献提供了大量例子说明水产养殖的发展如何影响与贫困相关的结果。文章的结论是，标题中提出的问题的答案是高度具体化的，因此仍然有必要对该行业的重大项目进行严格的社会影响评估。此外，如果发展水产养殖的目标是减少贫困，就应该更多地关注新技术的劳动强度，而不是其增产特性。最后，需要更多的研究来提高我们对穷人采用水产养殖的主要障碍以及这种采用对穷人福利的影响的理解。
What role does the growth in aquaculture play in poverty reduction? In theory, aquaculture development could affect the poor either positively or negatively, so the article reviews the available empirical literature. There is almost no evidence of aquaculture reducing poverty directly, but the literature presents numerous examples of how the development of aquaculture can influence poverty-related outcomes. The article concludes that the answer to the question stated in its title is highly context-specific, so rigorous social impact assessment of major projects in the sector will continue to be necessary. Further, if the objective of aquaculture development is to reduce poverty, more emphasis should be placed on the labour-intensity of new technologies, and less on their yield increasing properties. Finally, more research is needed to improve our understanding of the main barriers to adoption of aquaculture by the poor, and the effect of that adoption on the welfare of the poor.
