In addition, use of new fishing techniques and new technologies in the aquaculture of mollusks is expected to drive the growth of the market. Moreover, supportive and favorable government initiatives increase the demand for this fish type in the global market.
Intensive salmon farming using open-net cages and techniques such as ranching are some major aspects, which are responsible to drive the growth of the overall market. Advancements in breeding processes as well as increase in use of technologically modern fishing and fish farming techniques are some of major factors expected to increase the overall production of milkfish during the forecast period.
By region, Asia-Pacific was the largest market in 2017 owing to population growth, economic growth, and social factors such as traditional fish consumption patterns. The present level of efficient aquaculture technology has helped in increasing the profitability and is expected to further boost the market growth.
