Coastal farming and ocean ranching of marine fish, shellfish, crustaceans, and seaweed are a major and growing industry worldwide. In the United States, freshwater aquaculture is rapidly becoming a significant commercial activity; however, marine aquaculture has lagged behind. This book examines the obstacles to developing marine aquaculture in the United States and offers specific recommendations for technology and policy strategies to encourage this industry. The volume provides a wealth of information on the status of marine aquacultureâ€"including comparisons between U.S. and foreign approaches to policy and technology and of the diverse species under culture. Marine Aquaculture also describes problems of coordination of regulatory policy among various federal, state, and local government agencies and escalating competition for the use of coastal waters. It addresses environmental concerns and suggests engineering and research strategies for alleviating negative impacts from marine aquaculture operations.
Provides a statistical overview of the status and future outlook of aquaculture in the U.S. As of 1993, aquaculture was the fastest growing segment of agriculture in the U.S. Although the farming of aquatic plants and animals was practiced prior to 2000 BC in China, it was not until the early 1870s that aquaculture began taking root in the U.S, beginning with trout farming to replenish wild stock in streams and lakes. In the 1980s-1990s, aquaculture has shown considerable growth, with U.S. fish farms cultivating approx. 30 different species of fish and shellfish. There has also been an increase in aquatic plant culture in the U.S. which has value in the food, drug, and cosmetic industries. Includes a bibliography of citations mostly from 1989 to 1993.
