Using Resources Efficiently

Using resources efficiently – for economics, communities and the environment

Sustainable aquaculture demands that resources required to conduct operations, to provide the culture environment, and to provide nutrition to the cultured organisms be used in an efficient manner. Efficient use of resources will result in economic efficiencies, such as reduced input and operating costs, that will ensure the viability of the sector.

Using all available resources efficiently makes good economic, social and environmental sense for the farmer, his animals, and the community in which he operates.
