Synopsis

Aquaculture now makes a considerable contribution to world supplies of aquatic products for human consumption. Economic forces frequently have a more crucial bearing on the techniques adopted in particular regions than can be explained simply by the natural resources involved. The progress which has been made already is reviewed in the context of the main biological, economic and institutional problems which must be overcome to ensure further rapid expansion of aquaculture.
