Excerpt

Asia continues to dominate aquaculture production, thus contributing considerably to the sustenance of food security in the region. As it is today, aquaculture, or fishfarming, now offers opportunities as the "last frontier" for sustaining contribution of fish to food security. Capture fisheries production, or fish caught from natural stocks, has not been able to keep pace with demand for food of fish origin.
