Aquaculture and Capture Fisheries: Impacts in U.S. Seafood Markets

摘要

The objective of the National Aquaculture Improvement Act of 1985 was to stimulate development of a domestic aquaculture industry. The study was undertaken to comply with the Congressional request. Accordingly, the study examines U.S. seafood markets that are supplied with products from commercial capture fisheries and aquaculture enterprises (domestic and foreign). The report focuses on salmon and shrimp which are the most important fisheries in the United States supplied by capture fisheries and aquaculture.
