Abstract: World population is increasing at a rate of 2% a year, the number of persons doubling every 35 years. Food shortages in quantity and nutritional quality are becoming increasingly more frequent in developing countries. To meet projected world needs, total food supplies must double within the next 20 years. Cultivating the sea's food supplies could help alleviate hunger. Fish contain a high percentage of protein and have a low fat content. Fish production costs compare favorably with those of other animal foods; potential total yearly catch estimates vary from 100 million to 700 million tons. Harvesting sea plants, e.g. seaweed and plankton, along with all types of fish could greatly increase potential food stores. Organized cultivation of the sea bottom and herding of shellfish and fishes could increase yield. Other possible methods for increasing the sea's food yield are examined. (cs).
