Factors Affecting the Growth of the Aquaculture Industry:

• Sustainable Practices Gain Traction

Increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly seafood has increased sustainable aquaculture efforts. Fish farmers are starting to use recirculating systems, state of the art feed, and organic feed to reduce harm done to the environment. With increasing consumer interest certifications for sustainable production will be requested from markets based on the environmentally responsible consumer. Initiatives for innovation such as integrated multi-trophic aquaculture as a system of combining different species to make an integrated system similar to a natural ecosystem is becoming more popular, as are systems that make water more efficient while also minimizing waste. All of these sustainable production practices align directly with current and future sustainability goals globally, while providing additional market appeal for seafood that is responsibly sourced.

• Technology Boosts Efficiency

Innovative technologies are changing aquaculture, providing greater yield and efficiency. Automated feeding systems, Internet of Things sensors, and artificial intelligence-enabled monitoring systems are improving the health of fish while ensuring their growth potential. Being able to use drones and satellite imaging that can provide instant access to water quality can help minimize risk. Aquaculture farmers can take advantage of smart technological solutions that will reduce labor and improve precision within distribution and harvesting operations. These technologies are attracting investments across the seafood supply chain, and providing greater scalability for a future where consumers demand more seafood, produced in the highest quality systems that maximize efficiency.

• Urban Aquaculture Expands

As urbanization continues to grow, demand for seafood grown and harvested locally has increased and has contributed to a rise in urban aquaculture. Small, indoor aquaponic farms have sprung up in cities to grow tilapia and supply restaurants and retailers with fresh local fish. Because these systems are indoors there is little transportation cost and therefore no carbon footprint, so they are appealing to urban consumers in search of fresh seafood. Modular aquaculture systems are also being developed to use rooftops and warehouses as scalable solutions. The pathways of modern urban aquaculture are significant in terms of the food security potential they afford citizens in urban areas, while also providing a sustainable, locally-sourced source of protein to sustainably-minded urban populations.
