Further Reading / References
Advances in aquaculture science, technology, and management practices have grown as quickly as aquaculture's role in global seafood supply. Many of aquaculture's historic limitations -- like questions about feeds, diseases, and escapes -- have been addressed (in part) through NOAA's commitment to investing in innovation.
