The aquaculture is the art, science, and business of producing aquatic plants and animals, useful to humans; like any others, has its cost and benefits.
Although aquaculture has been around for thousands of years, many people are still unclear about the nature of aquaculture and its place in society; In the past, only a small percentage of global fish production came from aquaculture, the overwhelming majority was wild capture; but now, this represent the 58% of the global fish production.
In Panama, aquaculture as such, has its origins in 1972, when the National government started the search for economical and practical sources of animal protein to improve the Panamanian population’s diet, particularly from the rural population.
Aquaculture shrimp industry ranks in total national exports. However, it was later affected by the White Spot Viral Syndrome. However, the business of farming of tilapia has grown in recent years, and an important industry is consolidating. First Tilapia introduction was in 1940s by the Javan tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). So that Panamanians have 75 years to manage (to a lesser or greater extent) the breeding of tilapia.
Tilapia is the second most important group of farmed fish after carps, and the most widely grown of any farmed fish. Tilapia is the second most important group of farmed fish after carps, and the most widely grown of any farmed fish. Since 2004 tilapia moved and remains within the top ten most popular seafood in the US. Tilapia is globally recognized as one of the most important aquaculture species of the 21st century.
These facts have convinced a group of entrepreneurs decided to create Panama Aquaculture to provide advanced solutions to the panamanian aquaculture, starting with consulting services and turnkey projects for tilapia farming.
