Extract

Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic organisms, is amongst the few animal food production sectors that has continued to show strong growth over the last 30 years and over the last decade achieved a annual increase of 7.5% compared with 2.5% for meat production. This blue revolution perhaps marks the last phase in animal domestication and the prognosis for sustainable growth of the global sector is good. In 2000 around 45.7 million tonnes of aquatic produce valued at US$ 56.5 billion was produced.
