Abstract: Abstract Aquaculture is the world’s fastest growing source of food with more than 80 percent of aquaculture output from developing countries. Already about half of global seafood comes from aquaculture, and China, the world’s largest producer, meets more than two-thirds of its seafood consumption from aquaculture. It has been heavily promoted in many countries with fiscal and monetary incentives for many reasons: it contributes to Millennium Development Goals by providing protein and increasing the availability of food; it generates employment income (often female employment in fish processing and marketing) enhancing the accessibility to food; through multipliers it increases economic growth, tax revenues and foreign exchange earnings; it have a positive effect on the environment by reducing the pressure on overexploited fish stocks.
