Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food-production sector in the world, now supplying half of the fish consumed globally

Challenges •Rapid growth•Low production efficiency•Diseases and pollution •Dependence on wild stocks and fish-based feed•Gender inequities

Rapid growthAquaculture currently provides around half of the fish consumed globally and is projected to grow from 74 million tons in 2014 to 93.2 million tons by 2030

Low production efficiency Doubling aquaculture production without further increasing the industry’s efficiency could lead to a doubling of environmental impacts

DiseasesFish disease is a threat to aquaculture growth with more than USD 6 billion lost each year globally due to the problem
![Page 7: WorldFish research program: Sustainable aquaculture](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58f293bd1a28aba0578b45a5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Pollution Poor water quality management and high stocking densities lead to fish disease outbreaks and low level losses that lead to declines in farm productivity. Discharge of intensive pond effluent can threaten water quality in surrounding waters.

Dependence on wild stocksAquaculture often depends on wild or unselected stock, precluding the possibility of production gains by selective breeding and increasing the risk of disease

Dependence on fish-based feed Every year 20-30 million metric tons of fish, one third of the global fish catch, are used to produce fishmeal and fish oils for aquaculture feeds

Research needs
• Fish genetics and breeding• Fish health• Sustainable fish feeds• Low environmental impact systems• Gender equitable distribution of
economic and nutritional benefits
