Abstract

In recent years, aquaculture development has been repeatedly promoted as a solution to meet growing world food needs from fish. Traditional forms of aquaculture can, and have, made substantial contributions to food supplies in areas of the world where food needs are most acute. However, recent patterns of aquaculture development have emphasized the production of high-value species for export markets. In particular, the rapid development and expansion of intensive aquaculture for shrimp has resulted in widespread degradation of the environment, displacement of coastal fishing and farming communities, and a negative impact on local food supplies and food security.
