“…However, as a producer, the United States did not take part in the aquaculture revolution, and today, it is a minor player, accounting for 0.39% of global production in 2017. There are of course several reasons for this, with tight regulations and high regulatory cost receiving the most attention (Chu, Anderson, Asche, & Tudur, ; Chu & Tudur, ; Engle & Stone, ; Knapp & Rubino, ; van Senten & Engle, ; van Senten & Engle, ). The fact of the matter remains that aquaculture production is not significant in the United States and that the landings of wild fish are stable and unlikely to increase; thus, any increase in seafood consumption in the United States has to be based on imports.…”

U.S. seafood consumption has changed dramatically in recent decades and has become increasingly dominated by the consumption of a limited number of species that are primarily imported and predominantly sourced from aquaculture. In getting to this point, the United States has been, and still is, at the forefront of some of the most important trends in global seafood markets. Hence, discussing the factors influencing U.S. seafood consumption patterns is an interesting and informative endeavor and will most likely also have strong predictive power for the continued development of seafood markets in the United States. In this article, we will discuss the transitions in the U.S. seafood market, primarily focusing on the period from 1990 to the present, highlighting the main factors that facilitated this development. This article provides an overview of U.S. landings, aquaculture production, exports, and imports and also explores contributing trends in global export and import markets. This will be followed by a discussion of U.S. per capita consumption patterns and an examination of the consolidation of species consumed over time. Finally, implications for future trends in seafood consumption and production are discussed.

Restructuring European freshwater aquaculture from family-owned to large-scale firms - lessons from Danish aquaculture

Aquaculture is the world's fastest growing animal food producing sector. Although its overall performance is very good, it is unevenly spread geographically. In particular, the growth in most EU countries has been stagnating over the past 20 years despite repeated policy initiatives to launch new growth in the industry. The lack of production growth in EU aquaculture is often explained by strict environmental regulation and bureaucracy.

“…It also follows from this that public governance of the aquaculture sectors may have significant effects on their economic returns and growth. With poor management and governance structure, the industry will not be able to grow and may even move (Chu, Anderson, Asche, & Tudur, 2010;Chu & Tudur, 2014;Knapp & Rubino, 2016).…”

Managing and regulating aquaculture is a complicated issue. From the perspective of fish farmers as well as regulators managing aquaculture can be regarded as what political scientists refer to as a "wicked problem." This is because there is a great extent of uncertainty and lack of firm knowledge with respect to the externalities of aquaculture production; e.g., diseases, environmental impacts, and conflicts with other user interests. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of the aquaculture sector contributes to the uncertainty as new solutions emerge, rendering established knowledge obsolete or irrelevant. Designing appropriate public regulations and policy measures is thus important, but difficult. Based on empirical data from Norway, we investigate what respondents from public agencies and the industry perceive to be challenges in governing aquaculture and what we may infer on the characteristics of a good governance approach. We propose that such an approach needs to focus on building competence, collaboration, and be adaptable. Furthermore, it needs to be flexible and cost efficient.
