The global demand for fish and seafood is rapidly increasing, projected to double by 2050. However, this poses a challenge in managing fish stocks sustainably. In the UK alone, annual consumption amounts to £5.7 billion from over 85 countries. Alarming statistics from the WWF indicate that almost one-third of monitored global fish stocks are overfished, and over 60% are fished to their maximum sustainable yield. With fish consumption estimated to reach 180 million tonnes by 2030, innovative solutions are crucial. Discover how revolutionary technologies and practices in aquaculture are shaping a sustainable future in our latest blog.
