Avoiding Aquafailure

The farmed seafood industry will miss consumer demand by around a fifth by 2050 and drive further biodiversity loss – unless it changes. Diversifying farmed seafood production towards regenerative aquaculture can close a predicted 50 million tonnes supply gap while tackling biodiversity risks. Investors and lenders need to consider the material risks of the status quo and provide finance to help transition companies as high concentration leaves the industry vulnerable to biodiversity risks, leading to higher costs, more regulation and capped production.
