TRONDHEIM, Norway—There is a huge gap between world demand for fish and what can be harvested from the world’s natural stocks, according to the President of SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture, Karl Andreas Almås. “On a global basis today, we have an average annual consumption of 15-16 kilos of fish per person,” said Almås. “If we are going to continue consuming at this rate, we need to double the production of farmed fish within the next 20 years.” The solution, he suggested, is sustainable aquaculture.
