Satellite Technologies Can Help Drive Aquaculture Growth
- Producers in developing countries need technology transfer from Western companies to avoid overuse of chemicals in fish farming.
- Cutting-edge tools, including new satellite technologies, will help aquaculture expand, reduce its environmental impact and make farmed fish more efficient to produce, industry experts told the 9th World Ocean Summit.
- Aquaculture produces one of the most sustainable and fastest-growing sources of animal protein. The industry supplies about 50% of the world’s fish that is used for food, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation.
