The Ocean and its Environment as a Source of Food Production

World fish landings ran at 70 million megatons and approximately half of the crop is consumed directly by humans, the rest being used as livestock feed. Coastal waters constantly receive polluting materials through river discharge, coastal outfalls, and dumping and atmospheric transport. Quality of ocean's food today and tomorrow. Fishes are born and grown up in estuaries and migrate to the open ocean. They are very vulnerable to xenobiotics that are washed down rivers from urban, agricultural or industrial areas. Oceans versus current technology. In the coastal region of several undeveloped countries, residues from old technology discharged in rivers or directly to the ocean, still increases current level of impurities and it will continue for several decades in the future. In the future we need healthy and productive marine environment and the further development in new technologies
