The “Live Fish House” model demonstrates that integrating local knowledge with Nature-based Solutions can generate synergistic outcomes for aquatic ecosystem restoration, livelihood enhancement, and sustainable fish production. By functioning as a habitat-based, culture-based fishery system, the model enhances natural recruitment, increases carrying capacity, and supports fish stock recovery without reliance on intensive aquaculture inputs.

Local knowledge and Nature-based Solutions constitute mutually reinforcing pillars for sustainable inland aquaculture in Thailand. Traditional, place-based practices enhance ecosystem services and livelihoods, while NbS provide conceptual and technical frameworks to address contemporary challenges such as climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss.

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RASs) offer a compelling pathway toward achieving carbon-neutral aquaculture by maximizing resource efficiency, minimizing environmental impacts, and integrating renewable energy solutions alongside closed-loop nutrient cycling.

The community-based crab bank initiative has shown itself to be a practical and effective strategy for enhancing the sustainability of blue crab populations while fostering socio-economic and ecological resilience in coastal communities.

Bivalve aquaculture in Thailand represents a promising avenue for achieving food security, economic development, and environmental conservation.
