Aquaculture is the water-borne equivalent to land farming. It is a growing and important industry today, which provides roughly a third of all fish consumed world-wide. Most aquaculture is practiced in freshwater zones, but oceanic aquaculture is being developed and could prove a profitable industry to operate on seasteads.

The Center for Tropical and Subtropical Aquaculture (CTSA) is one of five regional aquaculture centers in the United States established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The regional aquaculture centers integrate individual and institutional expertise and resources in support of commercial aquaculture development.

CTSA was established in 1986 and is jointly administered by the Oceanic Institute and the University of Hawaii. The CTSA administrative office and staff are located at the Oceanic Institute’s Makapu’u Point site on windward Oahu.
