Aquaculture: Externalities and Policy Options

• The future of aquaculture will depend critically on the extent of key externalities, how governance evolves to address these externalities, and the extent to which markets and other institutions provide incentives for technological innovation. Governance in this context refers to natural resource management and environmental regulation by governments as well as private sector initiatives and efforts by nongovernmental organizations that seek to influence consumer behavior, supply chain management, and production practices. Potential market failures in aquaculture include natural resource scarcities that stem from the problem of the commons and a number of environmental externalities. To consider appropriate policies and governance structures, we distinguish between externalities that are endogenous (determined within the sector) and externalities that are exogenous (determined outside the sector).
