Pacific Region Aquaculture

Pacific Region Aquaculture involves the farming of aquatic species like fish, shellfish, and seaweed in the Pacific Ocean and its surrounding waters. It supports local economies, provides food, and helps meet global demand for seafood. Practices include cultivating species in open ocean, coastal farms, or inland hatcheries, using technology to ensure sustainable production. The industry faces challenges such as environmental impacts, disease management, and climate change, but also offers opportunities for sustainable resource management and economic growth in the region. Overall, Pacific aquaculture is a vital part of the area's seafood supply chain and marine resource utilization.
