Fin fish refer to true fish with fins, distinguishing them from other aquatic animals such as shellfish or mollusks. This category encompasses a wide range of freshwater and saltwater species, including well-known types such as cod, salmon, and tilapia. These fish are primarily used for human consumption and have also been integral to aquaculture, where they are farmed under controlled conditions. The expansion of the fin fish market is driven by the increasing global population, rising protein demand, and growth in the aquaculture industry. However, the fin fish sector faces significant challenges. Environmental concerns such as water pollution, habitat destruction, and the impacts of climate change on water temperatures and ocean acidification adversely affect fish health and populations. There are also socio-economic hurdles, including regulatory issues and the management of resources and sustainability practices, which remain critical for industry stability. Despite these issues, advancements in aquaculture technologies and practices can potentially increase yield while reducing environmental impact. Furthermore, there's a growing trend towards organic and sustainably farmed fish, driven by consumer awareness and preference for environmentally friendly products, paving the way for market expansion.
