Both worldwide and in Germany, the consumption of fishery products is increasing. This is provided by catch fisheries, whose yields have been stagnating for years, and increasingly by aquaculture. The associated rapid expansion of global aquaculture production, however, is accompanied in some countries by developments that call into question the sustainability of certain aquaculture practices. In Germany, on the other hand, the aquaculture sector produces very sustainably, but has been stagnating for decades at an extremely low level. German aquaculture has lost the connection on a global scale and seems no longer to be competitive in many areas. Against this background, it is necessary to develop solution strategies that help to preserve proven sustainable aquaculture forms and establish new sustainable aquaculture methods. Within the framework of the Expert Forum on Aquaculture of the German Agricultural Research Alliance (DAFA), the overriding goal was set to ensure that the supply of aquaculture products to the German population would permanently meet the requirements of 'clean & healthy, green & socially accountable'. In its core objectives, the National Strategy Plan for Aquaculture in Germany also formulates the preservation, stabilisation and expansion of existing production capacities, the growth of sustainable aquaculture and the preservation of traditional pond landscapes in the dual function of extensive fishing and public welfare.
