Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]land and freshwater limitations constitute a challenge for both fed mariculture and freshwater aquaculture as both depend on land and freshwater resources for production of feed inputs7. The potential to expand freshwater aquaculture by converting agricultural land to fish ponds and to raise freshwater pond yields by intensification is substantial5. [...]most freshwater aquaculture occurs in major river basins in Asia where freshwater is comparatively abundant, so generalized models of global water availability can be misleading (Supplementary Fig. 8). [...]much farmed freshwater finfish is mass-produced, available and accessible to low- and middle-income consumers, and makes an important but underappreciated contribution to global food and nutrition security12. [...]developing low-cost freshwater aquaculture could better match future demand for aquatic foods at the global scale.
