Aquaculture has been an important part of Chinese culture since the 5th millennium BCE, and its importance has grown over the centuries. In early China, aquaculture was mainly used for subsistence fishing, but over the centuries it has become an increasingly important industry in China. Aquaculture has had a major impact on the Chinese economy and society, providing food and economic security to millions of people. It has also helped to conserve wild fish stocks, provide employment opportunities, and promote sustainable development. Today, aquaculture in China is responsible for about 66% of fish production, and it is an important source of nutrition for the Chinese population.

In the 1970's the western world slowly began to adopt aquaculture practices as wild fish stocks quickly diminished. Salmon, trout and shrimp have become the main focus of production, either land based or in sea cages. As oxygen saturation in water has become a limiting factor for operational costs, the newly emerging nanobubble technology from companies such as Gaia Water have quickly gained traction. 

Today, more and more global aquaculture companies are adopting nanobubble technology to adapt to algal blooms which drop oxygen levels, higher density of fish in land based facilities and to enhance fish growth.
