ABSTRACT
Development of innovative solutions is the need of the hour to address the growing global demand for seafood without causing any damage to environment and ecosystems. Plant-based and cell-based meat exhibit fundamentally higher efficiencies than cycling caloric value through animals, and they offer the unique opportunity to level the trophic playing field within seafood production. Cell-based meat has become the industry-preferred term for products made from animal cell culture as a neutral term that is conducive to conversations with the conventional meat industry and with regulatory agencies. The transition to plant-based and cell-based seafood can be further accelerated by concerted efforts to apply insights from the development, commercialization, and generation of demand for plant-based and cell-based versions of terrestrial animal agriculture products. The production of plant-based and cell-based seafood is not limited by considerations like wild population productivity or geographical restrictions.
