Sustainable Aquaculture Development
Share
Abstract
Aquaculture is supplying 40% of the world’s food fish, and is playing a key role in national government plans to achieve food security, poverty alleviation and rural development. Aquaculture in Asia now accounts for over 90% of the world’s total aquaculture production.
The challenge for the aquaculture sector is meeting the projected demand for fish in the next ten years while ensuring consumer protection, maintaining environmental integrity, and achieving social responsibility.
Toward these ends, AQD has worked on six thematic areas in the past ten years, from supplying good quality seeds to rural aquaculture.
