U.S. AQUACULTURE: ECONOMIC RECOVERY THROUGH AQUACULTURE
In 2020, the U.S. Aquaculture Society (USAS), Catfish Farmers of America and National Aquaculture Association organized a webinar forum entitled, U.S. Aquaculture: Economic Recovery Through Aquaculture.
Due to COVID-19, this forum could not be held in Washington D.C. Instead, we invited House and Senate members, their staff, and federal agency representatives for an in-depth series of presentations to showcase U.S. aquaculture.

WHAT IS AQUACULTURE?
Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, shellfish and plants.
The term “aquaculture” refers to the aquatic cultivation of both marine and freshwater species and can range from land-based to open-ocean production. Aquaculture can be used for the production of recreational species, food, ornamentals, restoration of wild animals, ecosystem services, cultural connection, and use in pharmaceuticals.
