Abstract

“Fisheries have rarely been sustainable.” This statement by Pauly et al. [5] was based on the recognition that this lack of sustainability was induced by a serial depletion of wild stocks worldwide. Causative for this trend is due to the improved fishing technology , geographical expansion, and exploitation of previously spurned species lower in the food web. In exchange, aquaculture was often either regarded to bridge the gap between supply and demand or, in contrast, even to exacerbate this scenario.

Since the 1970s, aquaculture production has grown quite rapidly and is by now one of the fastest growing aquatic food production sectors in the world [6]. Besides the rapid development of this sector, the wide-ranging decline in fisheries yields has been enhanced by an increase in public demand for aquatic products. With an annual share of more than 15% of total animal protein supplies, the production of captured fisheries and aquaculture plays a significant...
