According to VASEP, a new study published in Nature (USA), warns that the use of antibiotics in aquaculture will increase by about 33% between 2017 and 2030 globally.
Specifically, it is estimated that the use of antibiotics in global aquaculture will increase from 10,259 tons in 2017 to 13,600 tons in 2030.
Currently, the Asia-Pacific region accounts for the majority of antibiotic consumption in aquaculture (accounting for 93.8%). In particular, the most use of antibiotics is in China, accounting for 57.9% of the total amount of antibiotics used in global aquaculture.
Also according to the above study, other major antibiotic consuming countries were India (11.3%), Indonesia (8.6%) and Vietnam (5%).
According to the study's authors, this growth in antibiotic use needs to be addressed urgently because overuse of antibiotics in livestock leads to antibiotic resistance.
