Notes:
Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. Already 50% of seafood consumed worldwide is produced through aquaculture. According tot he United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization it is estimated that at least an additional 40 million tonnes of aquatic food will be required by 2030 to maintain the current per capita consumption.New South Wales is poised to capture a significant proportion of this projected growth. A growing number of viable aquaculture investment opportunities are being generated by the drive to satisfy increasing domestic and export demand, and by the competitive advantages (both natural and man-made) which this State offers.Compared with many overseas locations, New South Wales offers a clean environment for aquaculture, Strict National and State-Level controls strive to ensure that New South Wales aquaculture does not suffer from disease or pollution issues that have caused losses among aquaculture industries overseas.
