The shrimp farming industry in Bangladesh has been handicapped by low-quality and low prices. [citation needed] The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank financed projects to develop shrimp aquaculture in the 1980s. [1] Much of the emphasis was on construction of modern hatcheries. [1]
Since 2000, aquaculture has been the fastest growing food production sector, growing 5.8% per year, [6] supplying over 100 metric tonnes of fish, shellfish and seaweeds from 425 species in 2017. [3] [4] Global aquaculture production by country in million tonnes, 1950–2010, as reported by the FAO. Based on data sourced from the FishStat database.
The tonnage from capture and aquaculture is listed by country. Capture includes fish , crustaceans , molluscs , etc. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] World capture fisheries and aquaculture production, from FAO's Statistical Yearbook 2021 [ 4 ]

Over 500 million people in developing countries depend, directly or indirectly, on fisheries and aquaculture for their livelihoods – aquaculture is the world's fastest growing food production system, growing at 7% annually and fish products are among the most widely traded foods, with more than 37% (by volume) of world production traded ...
A rice-fish system is a rice polyculture, a practice that integrates rice agriculture with aquaculture, most commonly with freshwater fish. It is based on a mutually beneficial relationship between rice and fish in the same agroecosystem. The system was recognized by the FAO in 2002 as one of the first Globally Important Agricultural Heritage ...
The challenge in these cases are due to the regulations stipulating that mangrove coverage need to be above optimal percentages, between 60-80%, which has led to over logging and the reluctance to practice silvoaquaculture. [8] [9] Other factors that can affect the production of shrimps in silvoaquaculture are the following: [4]
