Abstract

The Food and Drug Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) defines aquaculture as the farming of aquatic organisms including fish, crustaceans, mollusks and aquatic plants, where farming implies some form of intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, e.g., directed growth, controlled environment. As recently as 30 years ago, most seafood (which includes freshwater species in the broad definition) came from capture fishery. In 1970, 3.9% of total seafood production by weight was produced by aquaculture; in 2003, approximately 28.9% of total seafood production by weight is produced by aquaculture. This report covers the technologies, demographics and market conditions affecting the aquaculture market. The markets for the leading aquaculture products including freshwater and marine fish, crustaceans and mollusks as well as for aquatic plants are discussed in detail and forecast from 2002 to 2008. Markets for products used in aquaculture, such as containment systems (cages, nets, pens and tanks), water filtration systems, feeds, and pharmaceuticals are forecast from 2002 to 2008. The largest geographic producers and the nature of their aquaculture industry are described. The growth of aquaculture-from essentially a means of subsistence farming in poor countries to a worldwide commercial market-is chronicled as well. Profiles of companies engaged in aquaculture as well as those producing equipment, feeds and pharmaceuticals for aquaculture are included.
