Abstract

While Texas may have the potential to become one of the leaders in aquaculture, that promise has not been realized. Instead, m any aquacultural operations have been economic failures and have gone out of business, while those still in business are not as profitable as anticipated. This doesn't mean, that we should abandon Texas aquaculture as an enterprise that will never become profitable. A number of signals suggest that the demand for aquaculture products will continue to steadily increase and that Texas has the natural resources to become a major supplier of aquaculture products and services.
