Bringing together aquaculture producers and economists

Abhijit Mitra

Development and growth of aquaculture around the world is mainly dependent on economic feasibility which is also requirement for sustainability. Engle(2016) addressed the need and benefits of interdisciplinary efforts which highlights the critical issues to growth and development of aquaculture. The main obstacle is to collaborate work between aquaculture scientists and economists that often contribute to lack of effective engagement. Aquaculture biologists begin with observations and data eventually used to infer theories. Economists, on the other hand, begin with general theoretical  framework and predict specifics that are then tested with data.
