Seafood is any sea animal or seaweed that is served as food or is suitable for eating, particularly seawater animals, such as fish and shellfish (including mollusks and crustaceans). This article is about the body of water For other uses see SEA and Seas. Seaweed is a loose colloquial term encompassing macroscopic Multicellular, benthic marine Algae. Food is any substance usually composed primarily of Carbohydrates Fats water and/or Proteins that can be eaten or drunk by an Seawater is Water from a Sea or Ocean. On average seawater in the world's oceans has a Salinity of about 3 Fish are aquatic Vertebrate animals that are typically ectothermic (previously Cold-blooded) covered with scales, and equipped with two Shellfish is a Culinary and Fisheries term for those aquatic Invertebrate animals that are used as Food: various species of molluscs Molluscs are animals belonging to the phylum Mollusca. There are around 250000 extant Species within the phylum with an estimated 70000 Structure of crustaceans As Arthropods crustaceans have a stiff Exoskeleton, which must be shed to allow the animal to grow ( Ecdysis or molting By extension, in North America although not generally in the United Kingdom, the term seafood is also applied to similar animals from fresh water and all edible aquatic animals are collectively referred to as seafood. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located Freshwater is a word that refers to bodies of water such as Ponds lakes rivers and streams containing low concentrations of dissolved Salts and other Total dissolved
Edible seaweeds are also seafood, and are widely eaten around the world. Seaweed is a loose colloquial term encompassing macroscopic Multicellular, benthic marine Algae. See the category of sea vegetables.
The harvesting of seafood is known as fishing and the cultivation of seafood is known as aquaculture, mariculture, or simply fish farming. For the computer security term see Phishing. Fishing is the activity of catching Fish. Aquaculture is the farming of freshwater and saltwater organisms including Molluscs Crustaceans and aquatic plants Mariculture is a specialized branch of Aquaculture involving the cultivation of marine organisms for Food and other products in the open Ocean, an enclosed Fish farming is the principal form of Aquaculture, while other methods may fall under Mariculture.

Proteins are large Organic compounds made of Amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by Peptide bonds between the Carboxyl This article is primarily about the human diet For a discussion of animal diets see List of feeding behaviours.

Overfishing
Research into population trends of various species of seafood is pointing to a global collapse of seafood species by 2048. 2048 ( MMXLVIII) will be a Leap year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. Such a collapse would occur due to pollution and overfishing, threatening oceanic ecosystems, according to some researchers. [1]
A major international scientific study released in November 2006 in the journal Science found that about one-third of all fishing stocks worldwide have collapsed (with a collapse being defined as a decline to less than 10% of their maximum observed abundance), and that if current trends continue all fish stocks worldwide will collapse within fifty years. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning " Knowledge " or "knowing" is the effort to discover, and increase human understanding [2]
The FAO State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2004 report estimates that in 2003, of the main fish stocks or groups of resources for which assessment information is available, "approximately one-quarter were overexploited, depleted or recovering from depletion (16%, 7% and 1% respectively) and needed rebuilding. "[3]
Advocacy organizations such as the National Fisheries Institute, however, disagree with such findings and assert that currently observed declines in fish population are due to natural fluctuations and that enhanced technologies will eventually alleviate whatever impact humanity is having on oceanic life. The National Fisheries Institute ( NFI) is the United States Industry trade group representing the Seafood Industry. [4]
