Abstract

As the global population exceeds 6.5 billion in recent years, aquaculture is destined to play a more important role in providing animal protein in terms of aquaculture potential and high feed conversion rates. Technical and non-technical aspects of aquaculture are discussed in this paper to help sustainable development of this knowledge-based industry, with emphasis on food safety and human welfare. Technical strategies include consolidated standards for each species, introduction of exotic species, improvement of feeds, selective breeding, disease control and others. Non-technical strategies include training of personnel, proper licensing system, implementation of appropriate regulations and laws, efficient monitoring system, and establishment of local and global aquaculture networks.
