全球水产养殖的发展已导致预测，水产养殖生产将在本世纪超过野生渔业，成为人类鱼类蛋白质的主要来源。研究养殖系统与自然环境之间的相互作用对分析和管理水产养殖的环境影响具有重要意义，反之亦然。水产养殖环境相互作用将作为这些主题的全球论坛。
The development of aquaculture worldwide has led to projections that aquacultural production will overtake that of wild fisheries in the course of this century as the major source of fish protein for humans. Studies on the interactions between culture systems and natural environments are important for analyzing and managing the environmental effects of aquaculture and vice versa. Aquaculture Environment Interactions will serve as a worldwide forum for these topics.
