To feed growing and wealthier world population, required aquaculture growth rate: 5.6 percent annually.
Sustaining Aquaculture Growth If not? ………… In particular, per capita fish consumption in Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to decline at an annual rate of 1 percent to 5.6 kilograms during the 2010–30 period. Source: Fish to 2030. World Bank 2014
Sustaining Aquaculture Growth There are many issues, challenges and opportunities. Biosecurity and Health Management should be considered as one of the top priorities among the issues to be addressed for sustaining the sector growth. Technology and innovations Investment and finance Policy and governance Improved Public-Private-Partnership
Sustaining Aquaculture Growth Improved technology and new innovations are required for: Genetics Disease management Fishmeal and fish oil replacements Improving FCR Reducing carbon emission Increasing the use of renewable energy Many more!
Sustaining Aquaculture Growth
World fisheries production destined for export
Fish provides many valuable nutrients Proteins Long chain Omega 3 fatty acids Fat soluble vitamins Minerals like, Iron, Calcium, Iodine, Zinc and Selenium With numerous health benefits (known) reduced risk of cardiac death, aids neurodevelopment in unborn infants (probable) reduced risk of stroke, (possible) reduced risk of depression In developing countries Fish provide nutrients where they are most needed? Cheap small pelagics are becoming a growing component in diets?
