Seafood industry struggles to meet surging demand

Despite a surge in global seafood consumption, the industry continues to struggle with supply shortages as fisheries and aquaculture strive for transparency. The Responsible Seafood Summit highlighted the imperative for aquaculture to meet two-thirds of the world's seafood needs by 2030, emphasising sustainability and unity within the sector. Challenges include dwindling fish stocks and the need for enhanced collaboration. Amidst concerns over misinformation and product quality, third-party certification programs like Best Aquaculture Practices play a crucial role. While aquaculture production grows, the industry faces hurdles in keeping pace with escalating demand amid sustainability efforts to prevent overfishing. (Forbes)
