Abstract

Capture fisheries, finfish, and bivalve mariculture constitute the primary components of the blue economy. These sectors contribute approximately 17% of global edible meat production (Costello et al., 2020). By 2050, the intensification of mariculture (36-74% increase in yield) facilitated by technological advancements and policy reforms can enhance food production from the sea by 21-44 million tons (Edwards et al., 2019; Costello et al., 2020, Divu et al., 2020).
