World marine and brackish waters aquaculture (or mariculture) production has grown tremendously over the last few decades, contributing significantly to the total seafood supply, economies and employment. However, the sustainability of mariculture is in question because of the existing and emerging environment, social and economic challenges such as disease transfer, pressure on wild capture fisheries for fishmeal, consumer preference, the profitability of the industry etc.
This event will bring together experts and practitioners in aquaculture research currently investigating pursuable pathways for sustainable seafood production from marine aquaculture. Specifically, the panel will discuss how social economic factors might shape the sustainability of marine aquaculture under global change.
