global aquaculture production

Global aquaculture production refers to the farming of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic plants for food and commercial use. It’s the fastest-growing sector of food production worldwide, providing nearly half of all seafood consumed. Aquaculture includes activities like fish farming in tanks or ponds, oyster cultivation in coastal areas, and seaweed farming. It helps meet the increasing demand for seafood, reduces pressure on wild fish populations, and supports local economies. As technology advances, sustainable practices are emphasizing environmental health, efficiency, and the well-being of aquatic ecosystems, ensuring a steady supply of aquatic food sources for the global population.
