Description Global production from aquaculture has
grown substantially, contributing significant
quantities to the world’s supply of fish for human
consumption. This increasing trend is projected
to continue in the forthcoming decades also. It is
envisaged that the sector will contribute more effectively
to food security, poverty reduction and
economic development by producing 83 million
tonnes of aquatic food by 2030– with minimum
impact on the environment and maximum benefit
to the society with an increase of 37.5 million
tonnes from the 2004 level (FAO). Aquaculture
is a diverse sector using many strategies for fish
production. The harvesting of wild individuals, either
as broodstock whose eggs will hatch and develop
under culture in ponds or cages, or as early
life-history stages for on-growing under confined
and controlled conditions is one of the strategies.
