Aquaculture contributes significantly to the global economy by providing jobs, supporting livelihoods, and meeting the increasing demand for seafood. It creates employment opportunities in coastal and rural areas, including fish farming, processing, and distribution sectors. By generating local and international trade, aquaculture strengthens food security and offers economic resilience against overfishing. Innovations in aquaculture technology have also increased productivity, reducing costs and making seafood more accessible. The sector’s growth promotes income stability in developing regions and encourages sustainable fishing alternatives, making aquaculture a vital component of economic development and environmental sustainability worldwide.
