NIFA Program Aquaculture

Global demand for seafood is projected to increase by 70 percent in the next 30 years, and harvests from capture fisheries are stable or declining. A consensus is growing that a dramatic increase in aquaculture is needed to supply future aquatic food needs. In cooperation with our land-grant university partners and diverse stakeholders, NIFA provides leadership and funding for aquaculture research, technology development, and extension programs.
