Excerpt

The biggest challenge in the 21st century that aquaculturists are facing is the pressure to produce food without sacrificing conservation of resources. This was the message of Chief Dan Baliao to the first batch of graduates of Manpower Development for Sustainable Aquaculture Training Course. Chief Baliao told the graduates that the training course on management of sustainable aquaculture is not a simple matter because the world has reached the point where the biggest global challenge is how the aquaculture industry meet head-on the powers of aquaculture technology with the powers of the population. “How do we ensure that developing countries like ours will continue to develop aquaculture technology but along pathways that are sustainable in the long run?”
