Abstract
Fish farming is the world’s fastest growing sector of agricultural business. Fish and other aquatic products represent an important, underutilized resource for a protein-hungry world. Natural catches are dropping even as demand continues to increase, making aquaculture increasingly attractive. Consumer demand for fish products is increasing. At the same time, wild fish stocks are rapidly declining, mainly because of over fishing. Biotechnology provides powerful tools for the sustainable development of aquaculture, fisheries, as well as the food industry. Increased public demand for seafood and decreasing natural marine habitats have encouraged scientists to study ways that biotechnology can increase the production of marine food products, and making aquaculture as a growing field of animal research.
