Rome, Italy.- Aquaculture continues to grow as an important source of food, as both wild fisheries reach their limits or are declining, and the demand for fish increases. Diversification is a key element of this growth, in terms of species or strains farmed, technologies and areas being used for farming, and products and markets.

The evaluation led to several conclusions and recommendations
