This special issue of Aquaculture Economics and Management features five articles based on contributions to the International Association of Aquaculture Economics and Management (IAAEM) sponsored section on economics and marketing at the Aquaculture America conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, March 7–11, 2019. The IAAEM sessions had 47 presentations spanning two full days. The range of topics was wide, but a major theme this year was the challenges and opportunities of continued growth in aquaculture, including growth in international trade and associated global seafood competition, as well as challenges with disease and environmental externalities of production growth. Aquaculture production is expected to continue to grow, and the presentations this year highlighted some of the several challenges and opportunities this brings. Expanding international trade and competition with domestic seafood sectors is a natural consequence of aquaculture production being primarily a developing nation activity, while developed nations such as the U.S. and European countries are primary importing and consumption regions (Anderson, Asche, & Garlock, 2018; Shamshak, Anderson, Asche, Garlock and Love, 2019). However, growing demand and limited fisheries capacity to supply seafood provide incentives for aquaculture production also in developed countries (Asche & Smith, 2018; Anderson, Asche, & Garlock, 2019; Kumar, Engle, & Tucker, 2018). Unfortunately, domestic wild fish interests, environmental NGOs, and other stakeholders often resist such developments (Knapp & Rubino, 2016). The first paper in this issue, Garlock, Nguyen, Anderson, and Musumba (2020) investigates the market potential of new farmed finfish species from the Gulf of Mexico. They find that it is more likely that domestic Gulf farmed fish will substitute for imports than for domestic wild-caught fish. Evidence suggests U.S. wholesale buyers value domestic fish over imported fish more than its specific production source. This is also related to a recent trend where the origin is more important than production technology (Kecinski, Messer, Knapp, & Shirazi, 2017).
