Mariculture for Tomorrow’s Food Security

Abstract

Population explosion is about to knockout 9 billion by 21st century, which will entail a huge ultimatum for food security. This hike in population could be one of the limiting factors for agriculture in land, where the demand for space and clean water will be on mammoth mandate. Being 3/4th of the earth is water, which paves way to aquaculture- the future for food security. The UN 2030 agenda for sustainable development and its 17 sustainable development goals (SDG’s) aim to shift the world to a path where no one is left behind. According to FAO [1] total fish production in 2016 was 171 million tons, where 88% was meant for direct human consumption
