AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE AQUACULTURE AND FISHERIES ROLE

Více o knize

Aquaculture has emerged as a rapidly expanding sector in global food production, outpacing other animal food sources with a remarkable annual growth rate of 10% since 1984. By 2005, it accounted for 33% of total fish production, reflecting a significant shift from capture fisheries. This sector plays a crucial role in socio-economic development, particularly in India, providing income, employment, and a source of affordable, nutritious food while stimulating related industries. Notably, one in three fish consumed worldwide is now farm-raised.
