Abstract

Summary The use of a computer-based “Expert Choice” system, incorporating the Analytical Hierarchy Process, in the selection of candidate species for aquaculture is described. The system is considered to be particularly useful in developing countries or areas where the aquaculture industry is poorly developed. As an example, a model was developed to assess the potential of species for marine aquaculture in South Africa. Limitations of the system and precautionary considerations are discussed.
