Aquaculture, the underwater agriculture, is defined as rearing of fish in a natural or artificially created environment which favors their growth. Among the animal protein producing sector, it is the youngest industry which is developing, expanding and intensifying its culture practices throughout the world. At present, the sector producing around 73.8 mmt of fish, which is supplying 50% of the total fish consumed by a human. Since from the human evolution and expansion, the demand for fish is increasing day by day and by 2050 the sector needs to double its current production to meet the global fish demand. To feed this growing fish eating population, aquaculture sector needs to achieve blue revolution - implementation of intensive culture programme to increase the production of fish and marine products. On the other hand, sustainability - the developmental activities that meet the needs of the present without compromise the future generations to meet their own needs - is a concept which threatens the implementation of intensive culture practices. In 1980's, when the sector initiated intensification with the introduction of quality feed, hatchery-produced seed, aeration devices and other pond and fish health management techniques; thus led to a boom in the aquaculture sector. However, after a decade, the boom became sag and led to various sustainability issues such as disease outbreaks, the introduction of exotic species, encroachment of mangroves, increased input-cost, inequality and so on. Since from then, regarding sustainability, the sector is facing various environmental, economic, social and governing issues. However, the sector has many positive approaches to achieve blue revolution such as i) minimum carbon emission among the food production sectors, ii) efficient animal protein production system (in a protein starving world), iii) production of organic product, iv) has the potential to improve developing nations economy (where 95% of fishers and farmers are located), etc.The millennium Sustainable Development Goals of Food and Agriculture Organization were framed for sustainable blue revolution, but the sector is rushing towards blue revolution by relegating the goals with flawed intensification. So the wise use of existing natural resources, for local aquaculture fish production (a real blue revolution), which would be helpful to repel the recurrent rural riddles such as malnutrition, poverty, unemployment, social status, etc. forever.
