14. Aquaculture still is the fastest growing food producing sector in the world.Aquaculture still is the fastest growing food producing sector in the world. Aquaculture now accounts for almost 50% of the global food fish.Aquaculture now accounts for almost 50% of the global food fish. In 2006 51.7 million tonnes of aquatic animals worth USD 78.8 billion were produced globally.In 2006 51.7 million tonnes of aquatic animals worth USD 78.8 billion were produced globally. Given the projected population growth, an additional 27 million tonnes of aquatic food will be required by 2030, at least to maintain the current per caput consumption.Given the projected population growth, an additional 27 million tonnes of aquatic food will be required by 2030, at least to maintain the current per caput consumption.

Since 1970, aquaculture sector maintained an average annual rate of growth of 8.7 percent worldwide, andSince 1970, aquaculture sector maintained an average annual rate of growth of 8.7 percent worldwide, and 6.5 percent per year when excluding China.6.5 percent per year when excluding China. The rate of growth of aquaculture production between 2004 and 2006 were 6.1 percent in volume and 11.0 percent in value.The rate of growth of aquaculture production between 2004 and 2006 were 6.1 percent in volume and 11.0 percent in value.

16. Aquaculture trends and forecast Aquaculture will intensify, diversify, and expand Production of all species groups (including seaweeds) will be increased New species will appear All environments will be increasingly utilized More and more resources will be used in increasing quantities. More people will be involved in aquaculture production. More and more constraints to be faced!

20. Aquaculture Systems Open –Netpens, cages, longlines, bottom culture Semi-closed –Ponds, raceways, tanks Closed –raceways, tanks

21. Water Systems Flow-through: one time use of water Recirculation: reuse of water

22. Aquaculture systems: Closed Water is reused - little or no effluent Sophisticated water filtration and treatment Recirculating aquaculture systems, aquariums Photograph by HBOI
