Subasinghe, R.P. Understanding and applying risk analysis in aquaculture: a manual for decision-makers FAO Fisheries and AquacultureTechnical Paper; No. 519/1. Rome, FAO. 2009. 113p. ABSTRACT Aquaculture is a rapidly expanding sector of the global economy with an average
growth rate of 8.8 percent per annum since 1970. This consistent increase in
production is a result of expansion of markets, globalization of market access and
an increasing market demand for seafood products during a period in which most
capture fisheries are stagnating or in decline. Aquaculture is expected to continue to
increase its contribution to the world’s production of aquatic food and will further
strengthen its role in food security and food safety, while also offering opportunities
to alleviate poverty, increase employment and community development and reduce
overexploitation of natural aquatic resources, thus creating social and generational
equity, particularly in developing countries.
