Sustainable aquaculture refers to the responsible and efficient farming of aquatic organisms, such as fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and aquatic plants, in a way that minimizes environmental impact, preserves biodiversity, and ensures the industry's long-term viability. It involves practices that aim to meet the growing demand for seafood while minimizing negative environmental effects and supporting local communities. Aquaculture involves the deliberate cultivation or farming of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants under controlled conditions. The primary objective is to establish a sustainable source of aquatic-derived food and commercial products, aiming to enhance availability while minimizing environmental impact and safeguarding diverse aquatic species. Various forms of aquaculture exist, each exhibiting different levels of sustainability. Additionally, the escalating global population and rising incomes are anticipated to drive an increased demand for fish. As wild catch levels remain relatively stagnant, the growth in fish and seafood production has been predominantly attributed to the expansion of aquaculture. While aquaculture encounters challenges, including issues such as sea lice and pollution, numerous industry stakeholders actively engage in addressing and mitigating these challenges.

The increasing demand for sustainably sourced seafood and rising environmental awareness. Growing concerns about the environmental impact of traditional fishing practices have led to increased demand for sustainably sourced seafood. Consumers, regulators, and businesses are emphasizing the importance of responsible and eco-friendly aquaculture practices. Additionally, the implementation of regulations and certifications by governmental bodies worldwide is propelling the growth of the market. Governmental bodies worldwide are implementing regulations and certifications to encourage sustainable aquaculture practices.
