Aquaculture is an industry that controls the farming of fresh water and marine finfish, shellfish, and some aquatic plants (Aquaculture Association of Nova Scotia, n.d.). Historically, First Nations practiced a form of aquaculture that consisted of transferring fish species from one river to another (Suprenant, 2010). However, the demand for seafood has increased greatly since then, as seafood has become a more dominant part of the human diet. Global seafood consumption increased from 3% in 1950
Vietnam is one of the main seafood producing and seafood supplying countries worldwide. Aquaculture in Vietnam is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing sectors. In 2015, estimated total aquaculture production was 3.53 million tons, the export value was around 6,7 billions USD (Directorate of Fisheries, 2015). Challenges to sustaining the growth of the Vietnamese aquaculture industry include environmental degradation, fish disease, aquaseed, aquafeed provision and a lack of governance and
Fisheries & Aquaculture: Fisheries is an important vibrant sector. It’s contributing to the national GDP is around 1.4% and 4.5% GDP contribution to the agriculture sector as a whole. In broad terms, it involves capture including aquaculture, inland and sea, gears, oceanography, navigation, aquarium management, processing, export and import of seafood, fish breeding, special products and by-products, research and related activities.

Fish aquaculture is not a phenomenon that can be attributed to modern generations as it has been practiced since time immemorial. Raising fish for food, or aquaculture, is a long tradition spanning many centuries in some countries (Kam et al. 2008). According to the Japanese Resource Council, Science and Technology Agency as quoted by (Jhingran, 2007) aquaculture is an industrial process of raising aquatic organisms up to the final commercial production within properly partitioned aquatic areas,
Problems on Overfishing around The Entire World Aaron Moniz; Period 6; Rhianna Clark; Due March 16, 2018 Imagine that there was a world without fish and without fish, then there won’t be anymore poke. Well, that might happen because fisherman worldwide are taking more than they are supposed to, and that means overfishing is one of the world’s many issues that are occuring. Overfishing has been a problem for many years. Overfishing has a big impact to the marine life that live in these
industry. The objectives of the study were to look at the fishery industry in India and the world and understand their sustainable fishing practices. The focus was to understand the problems faced by the fishing industry and look at the innovative steps taken by fishing companies to grow in a sustainable fashion. Summary of the fishing industry - According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the world production in 2005 consisted of 93.2 million tonnes captured by commercial fishing in wild

CHAPTER 1 1. INTRODUCTION Sea cucumbers (class: Holothuraidae) are a group of marine invertebrates which are found in nearly every marine environment also provide an important source of livelihood for many artisanal fishers throughout the world, particularly for the developing countries in the tropical and subtropical regions. The Sea cucumbers are a significant source of income to many coastal communities and fulfill an important roles in marine ecosystems (FAO, 2010). It is mostly distributed
alter water chemically; nothing is being added except energy that penetrates the outer cell membrane, passes through the cell body and disrupts its nucleic acid, thereby preventing them from replicating. For proper selection of UV sterilizers in aquaculture, key parameters need to be identified and considered. The target pathogen as well as the log inactivation should be
quantities exported to neighboring countries. There is a promising market for value-added carp products such as fish burger, sausages, fish nuggets and fish balls. The fisheries sector produces large volumes of shrimp both through capture fisheries and aquaculture. About 85 to 90 percent of the shrimp production is being exported mainly to Europu. The present range of shrimp products could be further expanded to include value-added products such as head-on shrimp, peeled tail-on shrimp and breaded and battered
