It is foreseen that this trend will continue and aquaculture will be the major, if not the only, contributor to the fish supply to meet the increasing demand of the grow- ing population in decades to come. [...] In approaching this difficult assignment, the team benefited from the leadership of the Network of Aquaculture Centres for Asia and the Pacific (NACA), and the support of the World Fisheries Trust (WFT) as well as the Institute for International Sustainable Development (IISD) of Canada. [...] We also acknowledge the indirect support given by the Fisheries Management and Conservation Service of the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture, of the Food and Agriculture Organization. [...] In the early years of the postindustrial revolution period, the early philosophers such as Malthus held a grim view of the sustenance of the growing human popula- tion, and suggested that gains in food production will not be able to keep up with the latter (Malthus. [...] Of course the latter position is not universally accepted either, especially in the context of the notion that there is a limit to the capacity in the biosphere, in that it is essentially a closed system, and continuing sustainable gains in food production cannot be taken for granted.
