Master's Degree

Fishery and aquaculture products constitute one of the main sources of highly digestible animal protein and highly unsaturated fatty acids (omega 3), which is why their demand has doubled over the last three decades. However, fish catches, both of marine and continental origin, have stabilized at around 90 million tons, while the production of aquaculture fish has multiplied tenfold and stands at 56 million tons -38 of continental origin and 18 of marine origin-, according to data from the FAO. In the coming years, the increase in world population and the increase in per capita consumption -currently around 18 kilograms per person/year- will cause a considerable increase in the demand for fish, which will have to be supplied by aquaculture. .
