AFR = 100

where AFR = freshwater aquaculture production to renewable freshwater ratio (tonne/km3); AP = freshwater aquaculture production (tonne/yr); RF = total renewable freshwater (km3/yr). The AFR also was estimated for continent and world levels.

Concerns Expressed About Aquaculture

  • Destruction of mangrove, wetlands, and other

sensitive aquatic habitat by aquaculture projects;

  • Conversion of agricultural land to ponds;
  • Water pollution resulting from pond effluents;
  • Excessive use of drugs, antibiotics, and other

chemicalsor aquatic animal disease control;

  • Inefficient utilization of fish meal and other natural

resources for fish and shrimp production;

  • Salinization of land and water by effluents, seepage,

and sediment from brackishwater ponds;

Concerns Expressed About Aquaculture

  • Excessive use of ground water and other freshwater

supplies for filling ponds;

  • Spread of aquatic animal diseases from culture of
  • rganisms to native populations;
  • Negative effects on biodiversity caused by escape of

non-native species introduced for aquaculture, destruction of birds and other predators, and entrainment of aquatic organisms in pumps; and

  • Conflicts with other resource users and disruption of

nearby communities.
