The top aquaculture-producing countries in the world are China, Norway, Chile, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
- China is by far the largest producer of aquaculture, accounting for over half of the world’s production. The country primarily raises carp, tilapia, and mollusk species such as clams and oysters.
- Norway is the second-largest producer of aquaculture and is known for its high-quality salmon farming. The country also produces large quantities of trout and cod.
- Chile is the third-largest producer of aquaculture and is known for its salmon and trout farming. The country has a long coastline and a suitable climate for fish farming.
- Indonesia is the fourth-largest producer of aquaculture and is known for its shrimp and fish farming. The country has a large coastline and a suitable climate for aquaculture.
- Vietnam is the fifth-largest producer of aquaculture and is known for its shrimp and fish farming. The country has a large coastline and a suitable climate for aquaculture.
It is worth noting that these are the top producers based on the volume of production, but other countries such as India and Bangladesh have a very high fish production per area which is a good indicator of the efficiency of the Aquaculture industry in those countries.
