Abstract : Identification of optimal location (aquasites) is based on the evaluation of number of sites in terms of number of
criteria. In this study, twenty seven sub-criteria were categorized into five broad heads of evaluation criteria such as water (9
sub-criteria), soil (7 sub-criteria), support (4 sub-criteria), infrastructure (5 sub-criteria), and risk factor (2 sub-criteria). The
priority weights for sub-criteria within the evaluation criteria under consideration were determined using the Analytical
Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and subsequently, these weights were used for identifying the optimal location from a
number of alternative locales based on the relative closeness values and ranks assigned to them using the Technique for
Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. Finally, the combination of TOPSIS and AHP
methods constituted the methodology for identification of optimal location for aquaculture farming development. A case
study application of identification of optimal location in Kalla mandal, West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, India, was
used to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
