The role of aquaculture for assuring the sustainable development of our society

Abstract

Economic activities, industrial and agricultural ones, have the direct goal to help increasing the quality of life of our society. Beside positive direct and desired effects of the economic activities, these have also negative, undesired and sometimes unthinkable effects on the environment and society. After the Conference for Environment in Stockholm in 1972 and the first report to the Club of Rome, "Limits to Growth", was understood that besides wanted effects of technological progress, undesired negative effects can appear. In this context the concept of sustainable development has been for the first time defined 1987 in the Brundtland-Report and is nowadays very much discussed on different levels. Considering the sustainability of our society it is necessary to evaluate all economic activities, aquaculture as well, not only from economic and technical points of view, but from environmental and social ones as well. The concept of sustainable aquaculture has been developed and tries to take into consideration all the aspects related to assuring the sustainability of our society on a global level.
