Aquaculture and its environmental implications
1997
Chua, T.E.
Aquaculture is one industry that depends heavily on the quality of the environment. However, in many countries, it has also contributed to the contamination of the very environment it depends on for sustainable growth. This conflict is worsening. It is not difficult to witness the increasing number of failures in aquaculture ventures due to the self-pollution created by intensification and expansion of aquaculture practices. On a global scale, the level of aquaculture development varies from very developed in some Asian and European countries to less developed in many countries in the tropics, particularly in Africa. The potential for a aquaculture development in many countries remains strong. However, the approach to aquaculture development and aquaculture practices must be improved, and environmental deterioration checked. These could be achieved through adequate resource allocation planning and management to ensure the industry`s economic sustainability. Sustainable aquaculture may be more assured if a aquaculture development is made part of the integrated resource management program of the local government, and the adverse impacts of aquaculture are systematically monitored and mitigated.
