Aquaculture is the world’s fastest growing food sector. Farmed fish production surpassed beef production globally in 2011, surpassed wild fish capture in 2014, and is becoming even more popular in addressing global food security crisis.  Farming fish will always be much more efficient than farming terrestrial animals as fish neither must heat their bodies, nor build bone mass to fight gravity.

There currently exists a shortage of expertise to support the development of innovative technologies both in the land-based sector and water-based aquaculture sectors.
