While diversified aquaculture could reduce both biological and
financial risks, the private sector may lack incentives to
diversify the species composition of aquaculture production because
developing or adopting new species tends to be costly and risky.
Conversely, concentrating on the most efficient species can benefit
from economies of scale in both production and marketing. With
ever-growing concerns over climate change, disease outbreaks,
market fluctuations and other uncertainties, species
diversification has become an increasingly prominent strategy for
sustainable aquaculture development. Policy and planning on species
diversification require a holistic, sector-wide perspective to
assess the overall prospect of individually promising species that
may not be entirely successful when competing for limited resources
and markets. The historical experiences of species diversification
in global aquaculture can provide guidance for the assessment.
