The production and marketing of aquaculture products has grown dramatically in recent years. The economics of aquaculture is a rather new academic area for pursuit of state of the art economic research. economic analyses of the production and marketing of aquaculture products have been, in the past, quite limited; however, recently, with the growth in aquaculture enterprises worldwide, economic researchers have begun addressing this topic with the theoretical and methodological rigour used in other sectors. In this book, an attempt has been made to accomplish these objectives. Inter-disciplinary research is presented on aquaculture that will contribute to a broadening audience interested in the growth and profitability of this dynamic growth area. Aquaculture is very diverse with a multitude of species that have proved profitability-catfish, shrimp, salmon, crawfish, tilapia, carp and trout. In addition, many species are beginning to be analysed in terms of both production and marketing feasibility. Thus the economics of aquaculture spans a broad array of industries with differing problems and opportunities.
