Fish farming (Aquaculture) is the fastest growing mode of food production in the world; as a result of limited wild fishery landings and a rise in the demand for lean white meat. Furthermore, increase in human population, desertification, environmental degradation and construction/urbanization are continuously reducing the available arable land while increasing the demand for food. One of the available, expandable sources of food is through fish farming.

The huge demand for fish supports a firm economical basis for investment in fish farming at any level.
