Aquaculture includes farming of fish, aquatic plants, algae, crustaceans, molluscs, and other organisms. Small-scale aquaculture market in developed and developing countries make critical contributions to employment. According to the FAO, aquaculture provides employment to more than over 41 million people globally. The vast majority of aquaculture activities are carried out in developing countries working in fish production. Fish and other seafood species constituting an important source of nutrients for the poor and is among the cheapest form of animal protein. As most capture fisheries worldwide considered fully exploited or overexploited, aquaculture is considered as an important sector to meet rising fish demand, which will continue to increase with population growth, rising incomes and increasing urbanization. The aquaculture sector in North America is dominated by finfish and trout, primarily channel catfish in the US of America, Atlantic salmon in Canada. A smaller segment is dedicated to the production of bivalve molluscs shellfish, mainly a number of species of oysters, mussels, and clams. The availability of suitable environment, technology, and financing for the aquaculture industry in this region boost the aquaculture market growth. Rising demand for aquaculture-produced seafood, coupled with increased consumer demand for seafood in the diets of people is expected to propel the aquaculture market in North America. In North America, health benefits of cultured seafood are routinely promoted as part of marketing, and FAO described both Canadian and American government initiatives for promoting the consumption of seafood which propels the demand for seafood in this region
