  • Chamberlain, G. The GAA code of conduct program.
  • Clay, J. Environmental and social BMPs for shrimp aquaculture.
  • Davis, D.A. Best management practices for feeds and feeding practices.
  • Egna, H.S. and C. Craven. The Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture CRSP and best management practices for small-scale warmwater aquaculture.
  • Hamper, L. Best management practices on shrimp farms in Texas.
  • Hargreaves, J. Research needs to evaluate best management practices for pond aquaculture.
  • Houston, D.E. and R.F. Hulcher. Development of NDPEs permitting program in Alabama: A state environmental agency perspective.
  • Knickerbocker, K. Florida's aquaculture best management practice program.
  • Tookwinas, S., P. Songsangjinda, K. Chankaew, M. Phillips, S.S. Yang. Implementation of the Thai code of conduct for shrimp farming: Preliminary results from demonstration studies in Thailand.
