During the intervening period of 24 years aquaculture has gone through major changes in many areas, ranging from a small-scale homestead level activity to large-scale commercial farming. Over production has also occurred, leading to dumping in foreign markets and the imposition of tariff barriers. Against the erstwhile perception of aquaculture as an insignificant subsistence activity, in many areas, aquaculture production has exceeded landing from capture fisheries. -
