Abstract

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing industries with an annual growth rate of more than 11% for the past 10 years, producing about 16% of the world supply of animal protein, primarily for human consumption. Driven by population growth, rising demand for seafood and a levelling of production from capture fisheries, the practice of farming aquatic animals has expanded rapidly to become a major global industry. By an estimated production of 47.8 million tonnes in 2005, global aquaculture production in comparison has overtaken the global production of meat from bovine, ovine, porcine and poultry; where the production over the last few decades has not been increased to meet the population growth. In the Indian context, the impressive growth of the sector has raised it to the status of an industry. The strength of Indian aquaculture lies in (a) large water bodies suitable for aquaculture, (b) tropical Climate, (c) species diversity and (d) availability of cheap labour. While the weakness include (a) unregulated development, (b) disease problems and (c) lack of scientific approaches and policies
