Seafood Industry
The seafood industry involves the harvesting, processing, and distribution of fish and other marine organisms for human consumption. This sector includes both wild-caught seafood, sourced from oceans and rivers, and aquaculture, where fish and shellfish are farmed in controlled environments. Major seafood products include salmon, shrimp, and tuna, which are popular worldwide.
The industry plays a significant role in the global economy, providing jobs and supporting livelihoods for millions of people. Sustainable practices are increasingly emphasized to protect marine ecosystems and ensure the long-term viability of fish stocks. Organizations like the Marine Stewardship Council promote responsible fishing methods to help maintain balance in the oceans.
