About

Aquaculture means cultivating fish for food in a controlled environment, and harvesting them when they reach the appropriate size. Due to over-fishing and degradation of natural habitats, aquaculture has become an environmentally and socially sound alternative to commercial fishing. Aquaculture reduces the dependency on wild fish populations as a food source. Furthermore, many countries import seafood to meet domestic demand. For example, the United States imports approximately 60% of its seafood. Aquaculture allows seafood to be produced locally and in a sustainable fashion, even in urban areas.
