Overview
- Aquaculture is defined as the production of aquatic animals
and plants under controlled conditions for all or part of
their lifecycle.
- During the last two decades, the value
of U.S. aquacultural production rose to nearly $1 billion.
- Interest in aquacultural production is on the rise because
restrictions on the wild harvest of many seafood species
may diminish wild harvest seafood supplies.
ERS provides
background, data, and analysis on the domestic aquaculture
industry and U.S. trade in aquacultural products.
