The limited supply of fish from marine and freshwater capture fisheries is unlikely to meet the growing global demand for aquatic products. This, together with national efforts aimed at generating foreign currency, nutritional self sufficiency and higher standards of living, have focused the efforts of many countris to develop and strengthen aquaculture. Overall, these national goals are reflected in the continued expansion of the aquaculture sector since the 1980s. For most countries, this expansion was sustained in 1994 and resulted in aquaculture increasing its contribution to world fish production and maintaining its position as one of the fastest growing food production activities in the world. Between 1984 and 1994, total aquaculture production by weight (finfish, shellfish and aquatic plants) grew at an average compounded annual rate of 9.4 % compared with only 1.7% and 2.9% for total capture fisheries and meat production, respectively.
