This paper reviews the recommendations of the Bangkok Declaration, which evolved from the Conference on Aquaculture in the Third Millennium held in February 2000 in Bangkok. It has been more than a year since the conference, and the prospects of implementation of the recommendations by the member states are the concern of FAO: hence this assignment. In a brief review of global aquaculture, emphasis is given to its impressive growth since the early 1980s. By 1998, China accounted for 68.7 percent of aquaculture production worldwide, dwarfing that of all other countries. The ever-rising production in China is supported by the culture of aquatic organisms at the low end of the trophic level. While low prices may seem to deprive the economy of China’s aquaculture of fair earnings, local consumption has remained robust, although more food fish is required to match the needs of a growing population.
