FAO: World Aquaculture Report

A new report from FAO titled "World Aquaculture 2010" finds that aquaculture continues to be the fastest-growing animal food producing sector; currently accounting for nearly half (45.6 percent) of the world’s food fish consumption, compared with 33.8 percent in 2000. Among the findings, it is recommended, that as the sector further expands, intensifies and diversifies, it should recognize relevant environmental and social concerns, and make conscious efforts to address them in a transparent manner, backed with scientific evidence.
