Aquatic organisms like fish, seashells, shrimps and crabs are major sources of livelihood for local industries, especially in coastal areas. Companies involved in the cultivation of aquatic organisms at a larger scale are represented by aquaculture sector stocks.
The rapid growth of the aquaculture industry makes it a lucrative spot of investment. Companies in this sector are mainly involved in food production or other functions like habit restoration and economic growth. Their performance is prone to risks like supply chain disruptions, price fluctuations and disease outbreaks affecting marine animals.
