ABSTRACT

Within the last few decades, the industry of seafood production/harvesting has seen a massive uplift. Farm based seafood production is increasing day by day to meet the demand as it is becoming popular among consumers. Numerous aquaculture methods are there according to the conditions of the harvesting area and the particular species being harvested. These methods have their own pros and cons. The methods are playing a vital role in enhancing the blue economy. Seafood imports from the developing countries is also increasing. Countries like Bangladesh play a vital role in exporting seafood to the global market and making sure that the demand is fulfilled. After the maritime boundary dispute settlement of the Bay of Bengal, more windows of opportunity in this sector have opened for us. However, there is still a lack of sustainable management and production of seafood. Seafood for sustainable development will help Bangladesh to achieve sustainable production and to be an import hub for the whole world.
