I contrasted that domestic failure with the EU’s commitment of 4 billion euros to build “the blue economy” through aquaculture. According to Eurostat’s most recent yearly numbers, that effort has yielded 1 million tons of seafood sold for roughly 4.6 billion euros. Keep in mind that the U.S. is a big importer of seafood, an industry with a negative balance of payments that totals roughly $20 billion. “Norway produced 1.6 million tonnes (1.76 million tons) of aquatic organisms (almost exclusively salmon), worth 9.5 billion euros.” It may have peaked energy emissions this year and now produces about 55 million tons of seafood every year from aquaculture.
