Developing Aquaculture Industry to Bolster Asia Pacific Aqua Feed Market

On the basis of geography, the global aqua feed market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Among these, in 2015, Asia Pacific led the global aqua feed market and is anticipated to remain in the prominent position throughout the forecast period.
