Aquaculture is among the fastest growing food production sectors in the world and this trend is set to continue. However, with increasing production comes increasing environmental impact. For aquaculture to remain sustainable this future growth must be met in ways that do not erode natural biodiversity or place unacceptable demands on ecological services. This study is a review and analysis of global aquaculture production across the major species and production systems. It compares the aggregate biophysical resource demands of each system and their cumulative environmental impacts. The study then compares these results with those from other animal food production systems before examining the consequences of likely future trends. Finally, the policy implications of the report's fi ndings are discussed along with the research agenda that should be pursued to meet the challenges involved in producing food sustainably.
