  1. AQUACULTURE IS GROWING AT A RAPID PACE • Globally, fish is the most important single source of high-quality protein, providing 16% of the world’s animal protein consumption. And demand is increasing. • Because growing numbers of fish species are being harvested into extinction, aquaculture will become one of the largest food-producing industries in the world within 10 years. • Today farmed seafood makes up about a third of U.S. seafood consumption, and is increasing rapidly. • Virtually all catfish and trout eaten around the world now come from farms, as do two-thirds of the shrimp.
