Farmed fish and shellfish production is set to soar between 2010 and 2050 in order to meet projected fish demand worldwide, according to a new report.
This comes at a time when the global wild fish supply is stagnant and the human population increasing. According to the report by the World Resources Institute (WRI), WorldFish, the World Bank, INRA and Kasetsart University, production needs to increase by 133%. The study finds that although aquaculture’s environmental impacts are likely to rise as production grows, there are a variety of actions producers can take to minimise impacts and encourage sustainable growth of the industry.
