Abstract

Hydrography has been around since the 13th century. Although it was intended to mainly support vessels to navigate safely, the increase shift of attention from nautical charts to marine resources especially to the hydrocarbon industry expanded the use of hydrographic data. Currently, countries with hydrographic capabilities are able to use hydrographic information to support different maritime and related activities. This research shows how hydrographic data can be used to support Aquaculture in Ghana, specifically looking at inland aquaculture on Lake Volta where bulk of Ghanas aquaculture production come from. Through the use of relevant data mainly secondary sourced, on how Canada is employing hydrography to solve similar challenges in the area under consideration, and relevant literature, solutions were proffered to tackle the challenges in Ghana. It was apparent that, by integrating hydrography into aquaculture, fish farmers will be able to manage their farms more efficiently to boost production.
