Excerpt
Introduction: Aquaculture in the United States has the potential to become a major growth industry in the 21st Century. Global seafood demand is projected to increase by 70 percent by the year 2025 (Joint Subcommittee on Aquaculture, JSA 1993). With harvests from capture fisheries stable or in decline, aquaculture would have to increase production by 700 percent to a total of 77 million metric tonnes annually to meet the projected demand (JSA 1993). The potential of aquaculture worldwide to meet the challenges of food security and to generate employment has been demonstrated by its rapid growth at an annual rate of 10 percent since 1984 (as compared with 3 percent for livestock meat and 1.6 percent for capture fisheries production) (FAO 1997).
