Abstract

ICSF’s expressed interest in industrial aquaculture and its development is from the perspective of communities whose lives and livelihoods depend on activities related to small scale and artisanal fishing, and small-scale aquaculture. ICSF is interested to understand how developments in the aquaculture sector could affect the social, economic, cultural, and political rights of these communities, particularly their rights to life and livelihood. Industrial aquaculture is increasingly competing with smallholders for resources, like freshwater, land, coastal areas or marine organisms. Increased use of pelagic fish for feeding in industrial aquaculture is a case in point, as is the destruction of mangroves for industrial shrimp cultivation.
