Abstract

The ecosystem approach to aquaculture (EAA) is the fruit of the discussions between the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and aquaculture experts around the world held in the 90s and 00s. The aim of the discussions were to device the ways to move the planning and management of aquaculture towards greater sustainability. The EAA was devised as a tool to support the implementation of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) and has helped to promote the sustainable exploitation of capture fisheries worldwide. The rapid growth of the aquaculture sector worldwide, and the interaction of aquaculture activities with other economic sectors and natural resource users, require a responsible and integrated approach to aquaculture development (FAO 2003; Garcia et al. 2003).
