Aquaculture: Can food from the sea feed a hungry world?
With land-based or in-land aquaculture is facing expansion constraints in many parts of the world, a global consortium of researchers has estimated that the ocean-based aquaculture sector could boost its production by 36 to 74% over current yields by 2050. This would represent 12 - 25% of the estimated additional meat production the world will need to feed a global population of 9.8 billion people.
