“Regulations on Quality and Safety in Aquaculture” released in
2003 gives a definition for green growth of aquaculture that it is to
enhance the productivity and quality in an environment-friendly
manner. Its theme matches the concept of “Green growth” by
OECD (2013), which means fostering economic growth and development
while ensuring that the natural assets continue to provide
the resources and environmental services on which our well-being
relies. It is agreed that investment and innovation are key to sustained
growth and new economic opportunities (OECD, 2012) while
addressing environmental externalities of production.
