Global production of carps, tilapias, pangasius, salmonids and sea bass and sea bream is expected to reach 39.6 million metric tons this year.
Responsibility
In 2020, global aquaculture production of 123 million tons involved 448 species but 90 percent of production was concentrated on 46 species.
Responsibility
Climate change effects in marine-surface microbial ecosystems may be undetected because previous studies have taken other approaches.
Innovation & Investment
An experimental airborne system is effective at water quality sampling and monitoring, with superior mobility, safety and lower operating costs.

El potencial para expandir la producción de camarón es grande, pero los mercados deben ser capaces de absorberlo mientras se benefician de manera justa todos los componentes de la cadena de valor.
Intelligence
The potential to expand shrimp production is great, but markets must be able to absorb it while fairly profiting every component of the value chain.

The recent Central American Aquaculture Symposium in Choluteca, Honduras, brought together more than 600 participants to discuss industry issues and perspectives. The focus was shrimp diseases and their impacts on production, as well as practical alternatives to face these issues and move forward.
Health & Welfare
With practice and common sense, cast netting produces adequate data for successful management of shrimp ponds. It is important, from a practical standpoint, that sampling techniques are adapted to the site, natural resources and human resources available.

La encuesta GOAL 2015 de la Alianza Mundial de Acuicultura sobre las tendencias de producción en el cultivo de camarón encuestó a 38 participantes de Asia / Oceanía, 31 de América Latina y dos de África.
Intelligence
The GOAL 2015 Shrimp Production Survey showed that global farmed shrimp production is rebounding from the decrease seen from 2011 to 2013 due to diseases, and is headed to an all-time high of around 4.8 million metric tons in 2017, barring any new crises.
