ASEAN-Indo-Pacific Cooperation is Led by Indonesia to Promote Sustainable Aquaculture Technology
Bali, Indonesia "The development of sustainable aquaculture is important as the main driver of meeting food needs, and to encourage national economic growth, in the future."

The Asia-Pacific region's aquaculture output increased from 64.1 million tonnes in 2008 to 126 million tonnes in 2021. This expansion demonstrates the critical role that aquaculture plays in the expansion of the local economy and the significance of using sustainable techniques to maintain it.
