Shrimp-based livelihoods in mangrove silvo-aquaculture farming systems
TLDR
In this article, the authors reviewed three types of mangrove-shrimp systems: (i) integrated with canals, (ii) associated having larger areas of water and a large mangroves area; and (iii) separated, with a dyke separating ponds from forest.Abstract:
The paper reviews the following three types of mangrove-shrimp systems: (i) integrated with canals between platforms planted with mangrove; (ii) associated having larger areas of water and a large mangrove area; and (iii) separated, with a dyke separating ponds from forest The variations in shrimp yield of integrated and associated systems, that is, mixed systems, are attributable to water exchange, % water surface, primary production, stocking of post-larvae, leaf litter fall and decomposition, species, cover and age of mangrove, and predators Leaf litter from all mangrove species except Nipa palm adversely affect water quality Leaf composition and decomposition rate vary between species; submersed leaves decompose faster Low concentrations of decomposing leaves of certain species temporarily boosted shrimp growth Shrimp yield has been found to be highest in ponds with 30–50% mangrove cover, but remainedread more

Mangrove forests and aquaculture in the Mekong river delta
Thuy Dang Truong,Luat Huu Do +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impacts of mangrove coverage on the productivity and profit of mixed shrimp-mangrove-shrimp ponds using the production and profit functions, and found that maintaining the level of coverage of 60% does not only comply with the policy, but also bring about the highest level of output and profit for shrimp farmers.

Integrated mangrove-shrimp cultivation: Potential for blue carbon sequestration.
TL;DR: In this article, integrated mangrove-shrimp cultivation has emerged as a part of the potential solution to blue carbon emissions, which can help to sequester blue carbon through restoration, and can be an option for climate change mitigation.

Carbon sequestration in mangrove forests
TL;DR: Mangroves are among the most carbon-rich biomes, containing an average of 937 tC ha-1, facilitating the accumulation of fine particles, and fostering rapid rates of sediment accretion (∼5 mm year -1) and carbon burial (174 gC m-2 year −1).
