A distinguished team of economists familiar with U.S. aquaculture have published an analysis<https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jwas.13091> funded by the National Sea Grant Program<https://seagrant.noaa.gov/> estimating the economic impact of U.S. aquaculture to the economy. The analysis achieves its goal and presents a succinct description of U.S. aquaculture capturing the complexity in the life stages of aquatic animals and plants farmed and production systems used by small and large farms across the nation.

The total economic contribution of U.S. aquaculture production was estimated to be $4 billion annually with more than 22,000 jobs supported each year. The labor income and value addition were approximately $1 billion and $3 billion, respectively. The economic output multiplier across all U.S. aquaculture production was 1.73. Nearly all (96%) economic sectors in the United States were supported by U.S. aquaculture, with the majority of this contribution occurring in the rural economies where most aquaculture farms are located.
