Abstract

Aquaculture has an important role to play in global efforts to eliminate hunger, poverty reduction through improving incomes, and increase returns on resource use, due to the stagnating level of capture fisheries. The main challenge for policy makers is to create an "enabling environment" to support the expansion needed to meet this potential. This requires significant political will, policy support and investment. The increasing recognition by the governments to implement aquaculture programmes based on sound policies, population growth, increasing purchasing power of the people, opening of new markets facilitated by trade liberalisation and technological advances, bring opportunities for further development of aquaculture. On the other hand, stagnating levels of capture fisheries, the need to support small-scale farmers, ensuring safe and quality aquatic products and scarcity of land and water resources, pose a major challenge to this sector.
