steps to develop climate change-resilient aquaculture, setting its sights on expanding
the local aquaculture area by 2,500 ha to reach 40,000 ha by 2030.

Profligate use of antibiotics and insecticides for cultivation and the threat of anti-microbial resistance have contributed making aquaculture a “ticking time bomb,” according to the authors of the study commissioned by the Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations (FIAPO) and All Creatures Great and Small (ACGS).
