One Health Aquaculture – a personal perspective

Aquaculture is set to provide an increasing contribution to global seafood production and consumption by 2050. To facilitate sustainable growth and generation of safe, tradeable products attention must be focused on integration of diverse sustainability metrics into the supply chain – maximising the benefits to producers and consumers whilst minimising negative impacts on organisms grown in farms, and the environment in which aquaculture takes place. The One Health Aquaculture concept proposes a set of success metrics spanning animal-, human-, and environmental- health which may be used to underpin a new evidence, policy, and legislative framework for aquaculture sustainability.
