Description:Over the past 20 years, the amount of wild-caught seafood has remained steady globally, while the amount raised through aquaculture has increased threefold (Naylor et al., 2021; NOAA, 2020; NOAA, 2021). Since 2016, aquaculture has supplied the majority of seafood produced for human consumption worldwide (FAO, 2020). Despite having one of the longest coastlines in the world, the United States lags behind in aquaculture production, ranking 17th in worldwide aquaculture production (NOAA, 2020). The U.S. imports over 80 percent of its seafood—more than any other country. In 2019, the nation imported $22.2 billion worth of edible seafood and exported $5.2 billion, resulting in a seafood trade deficit of $16.9 billion. About half of imported seafood is farmed, with global and domestic demand for seafood poised to grow (NOAA, 2020).
