Latest trends in the Aqua-industry You Should Know About

by Akash Sharma Akash Sharma

It won’t be wrong if we say that aquaculture is amongst the fastest growing sector across the world in recent times. From the year 2005, the sector has shown a steady growth across the globe. As per the experts, the industry is only going to upgrade in near future and witness explosive growth.  


It is quite natural that aquaculture has a massive impact on food industry and also on society in general. Also, it is interesting to note that more than half of the seafood consumed across the world is being produced by the aquaculture industry. The industry is going through drastic changes, all thanks to the introduction of new methods and upgradation of management processes. 


Industries who are looking forward towards the growth of their aqua-business, should pay attention to the latest trends to lead the market and make a name for themselves.  


1.Using Lesser Antibiotics


Use of antibiotics is highly lethal for aqua-industry as it proliferates antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This technique compromises treatment of bacterial infections in both humans and aqua species. As per the recent reports by world health organization, this poses a great threat on the survival of aqua species, which is why many businesses including the likes of KCT group in India have put a ban on it.  


2.Putting A Stop To Environmental Degradation 


It is a no brainer that aquaculture farms slowly deplete natural resources and have an adverse impact on the environment. Shrimp farms are considered one of the prime reasons for environmental degradation. This is because when farmed species enter natural habitat, they compete with natural species for food which leads to a huge imbalance in the wild water bodies. Now that the industry is increasingly becoming aware about these issues, they are taking precautions to maintain the sustainability of the aqua environment. 


3.Application Of Advanced Equipment 


Over the years, aquaculture industry has seen tremendous changes and advancement in a lot of areas. Companies like the KCT group, led by Varun Thapar are slowly turning to use more technologically advanced equipment than the mechanical ones as they ensure better maintenance without any critical repercussion.  


If you are looking for aquaculture services, The Waterbase Limited by the KCT Group, is an integrated aquaculture unit that has its own shrimp farms, shrimp feed plants and processing facilities. They believe in sustainable aquaculture and promote eco-friendly practices across the country. Check out their website for more details on the same!
