    Tilapia is one of the fastest growing aquaculture species in the world. This is due to the low cost to produce this fish in all continents using a variety of production methods. Furthermore, tilapia is increasingly demanded in world wide markets ranging from the poorest segments in developing countries to highly developed western markets. Yet, the fast development in the tilapia industry has resulted in a relatively small number of studies compared to other aquaculture industries like salmon or shrimp. This report reviews the development of tilapia aquaculture production and markets and provides a brief discussion on its likely developments in the future.

    The world market for certified organic citrus (fresh and juice) is presently small and production accounts for less than 1 percent of global citrus production. The main markets are the European Community and the United States, which are also the world’s largest two producers. Consumption of organic citrus is expected to rise steadily in developed countries in the coming years, providing interesting export opportunities.

    World markets and industry of selected commercially-exploited aquatic species with an international conservation profile 2004
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Over time, the international community has been launching several initiatives aimed at improving the conservation status of commercially-exploited aquatic species. The four separated studies of this report target four species or group of species with an international conservation profile and traditionally under-represented in market and industry literature. These species are sturgeons (Acipenseriformes), Caribbean queen conch (Strombus gigas), sharks (Chondrichtyes) and Patagonian toothfish (Dis sostichus eleginoides). The sturgeon and caviar industry is a commercial one, with traditionally high capture and export patterns. The queen conch fishery is an important provider of employment and income among fishing communities in the Western Central Atlantic area. The shark fishery is a relatively large and lucrative one. Sharks are mainly taken as bycatch of other commercial fisheries such as tuna and billfishes. The Patagonian toothfish is exploited by a large, commercial industry which is concentrated in the southernmost areas of the Atlantic and the Pacific and in Antarctic waters.
