Description:Recent evidence of severe stress in many fisheries suggests that they already are being exploited at or beyond their sustainable capacity. Therefore, we must now apply agricultural practices learned on land to the utilization of the ocean. Cultivation, through open ocean aquaculture rather than simply continuing to harvest wild stocks, appears to be the way of the future. Great strides have been made in the technology of marine aquaculture in the past decade. It is now possible to produce many species of fish in intensive culture systems at cost that are comparable to, or substantially below, those necessary for the harvesting of wild stocks. The Open Ocean Aquaculture Conference from which the papers for this volume are derived, addressed a number of key issues that need to be resolved before our move to fully utilize the oceans can take place.
