What's more, the UN said the share of aquaculture in global fisheries output was growing.
Depending on the type of aquaculture in question, there are mixed views about the sustainability of the industry. Long touted as an ethical alternative to overfishing taking place in some of the world's oceans, aquaculture has come in for more scrutiny as its size has grown.
In Australia, this scrutiny most famously came to attention following the publication of the book Toxic by acclaimed author Richard Flanagan. The book contended the salmon farming industry was not clean and green as its marketing tended to suggest but rather environmentally damaging. While the book caused a stir, on the other end of the equation, Andrew Forrest argues shellfish farming is beneficial to the marine environment.
He said molluscs, such as oysters, were a natural filter for marine environments, arguing their production was entirely sustainable. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work. He's not alone. What is aquaculture?

China Evergrande avoids default, but where is the money coming from? For example, less than 1kg of wild-caught fish can now used in feed to produce 1kg of farmed prawns. The growth of prawn farming in South-east Asia in particular has led to the destruction of vast areas of mangroves and irreversibly altered coastal ecosystems. Mangroves act as carbon sinks and critical nurseries for wild fish. In Australia, the scale of aquaculture in ponds is relatively small and regulations are tighter than in our neighbouring countries.
However care must be taken with any further industry expansion, which will inevitably increase pressure on our local coastal environments. Many aquaculture operations in Australia are located in ex-agricultural land, meaning no dedicated land-clearing has taken place.
Discharge of waste from aquaculture facilities into surrounding waterways can be an issue. In general in Australia, effluent output from land-based ponds or tanks is strictly controlled to prevent the spread of disease and reduce pollution. Aquaculture waste is also sometimes used as a fertilizer rather than discharged from the farming operation. In the case of sea cages, a build-up of faecal matter and unused food can lead to nutrient overload and pollute the local environment.
Sea-cage farming for Atlantic salmon in Tasmania has gained significant and justified interest in recent years due to the negative impact of salmon farming on surrounding marine habitats, particularly in the ecologically sensitive habitat of Macquarie Harbour.

Sea-cage aquaculture systems Description: Sea-cage aquaculture consists of large netted cages floated in estuaries or embayments in which dense schools of fish are penned, fed and reared for market.
