Increases in fish demand in the coming decades are projected to be largely met by growth of aquaculture. However …, increased aquaculture production is linked to higher demand for natural resources and energy as well as emissions to the … future aquaculture growth. Different scenarios of future aquaculture development are taken into account in calculating the …
