The Aquaculture industry is developing and expanding in almost all regions of the world, except in sub-Saharan Africa. Aquaculture appears to have the potential to make a significant world contribution to this increasing demand for aquatic foods; however, in order to realise this potential, the industry faces significant challenges.
Speaking on behalf of the aquaculture industry in British Columbia in Canada is the Society for the Positive Awareness of Aquaculture (SPAA). Established in 1998, this organisation aims to counter the “myths” and criticisms posed against the aquaculture industry. Global Aquaculture Alliance: www.gaalliance.org An international organisation committed to advancing environmentally and socially responsible aquaculture is the Global Aquaculture Alliance. This is a useful information resource covering sustainable aquaculture data from across the globe. International Fishmeal and Fish Oil Organisation: www.iffo.net A useful information source relating to fishmeal and fish oil is the International Fishmeal and Fish Oil Organisation (IFFO), which aims to enhance human and livestock health and welfare via superior nutrition to the benefit of consumers worldwide.
