Global aquaculture industry development and sustainability

Overview

The global aquaculture sector is focusing on structural shifts toward sustainability, indigenous inclusion, and economic expansion.

In Canada, the Canadian Aquaculture Industry Alliance has integrated indigenous representation on its board to support economic opportunities for First Nations coastal communities. Internationally, the Aquaculture Action Alliance is working to reduce the sector’s carbon footprint through supply chain collaboration, while initiatives in Ghana aim to establish a national Code of Good Practices for local sustainability.

Efforts are also shifting toward large-scale growth and trade. In Africa, stakeholders are calling for coordinated investment and modern infrastructure to address declining natural fish stocks and improve food security. Concurrently, India is targeting a significant increase in farmed seafood exports, while New Zealand is leveraging new free trade agreements to access the Indian market through the phased removal of tariffs.
