As production from capture fisheries stagnates, aquaculture is changing the face of our waters. This book provides guidance on sustainable aquaculture to decision makers in the international development community and in client countries of international finance institutions. The study focuses on several critical issues and challenges: harnessing the contribution of aquaculture to economic development; building environmentally sustainable aquaculture; creating the enabling conditions for sustainable aquaculture; and developing and transferring human and institutional capacity in governance, technologies, and business models, with lessons from Asia to Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.
