Overview
From its origins as a restricted and globally insignificant small-scale activity, aquaculture has developed rapidly since the 1960s to become an important growth industry. Aquaculture has confronted many of the developmental problems that an emerging industry would expect to encounter. It has also, in this relatively short period of time, faced many situations that are common to more highly developed and entrenched industries. These have included sector competition, over-production, trade restrictions, over-capitalization, bankruptcies, concern for environmental degradation and the influence of politics at both the national and international level. Aquaculture Development: Progress and Prospects seeks to provide aquaculturalists, policy-makers, administrators and scientists with a critical appraisal of the development and experiences of the industry to guide and assist in the formulation and implementation of plans and strategies for the future.Editorials
