SISTEMAS DE PRODUCCIÓN DE ACUACULTURA CON RECIRCULACIÓN DE AGUA PARA LA REGIÓN NORTE, NORESTE Y NOROESTE DE MÉXICO

Abstract

Aquaculture is expanding and developing in practically all the regions of the world. The demand of the world-wide population by aquatic products is increasing, whereas the production from capture of fisheries has been being reduced, reaching many of them their maximum productive potential. As result of, sustaining fish supplies from capture fisheries it will not be possible to meet the growing global demand for aquatic food. Therefore, the aquaculture seems to have the potential to make a significant contribution to the production of these foods, in order to meet the growing population demand. Nevertheless, in order to accomplish it, the producer faces critical challenges. The development of these activities intensifies substantially, and requires to be diversified, producing new species and creating new systems and practices of production. The production systems of aquatic animals, particularly those based on technologies of water recirculation, appears to be an excellent alternative for producing, in regions of the North of Mexico, in where the water is scarce.Aquaculture, word wide population, aquatic food., Agribusiness,
