Abstract
One of the goals of the sustainable development is to minimize or eliminate the environmental externalities and target social and economic development. Socio-Economic and Environmental Assessment (SEEA) deal with assessing the socio-economic and environmental issues that can potentially be a threat to the existing condition. SEEA also deals with developing a proper alternative or management techniques. As the world capture type of fishing is stagnant or declining, the growth of the aquaculture is inevitable as it fills the gap between declining natural production and increasing market demand. Aquaculture is the only viable way of raising the production of seafood and freshwater fish. Thus, the sustainable development of aquaculture industries has been the necessity. This chapter highlights the different socio-economic and environmental issues that aquaculture leads to and also presents the impact areas, mitigation and monitoring plans that can be adopted to ensure sustainability of the aquaculture.

- 1.
Boom and bust cycle: It is a process of economic growth and contraction, which occurs frequently and is the key characteristic of capitalist economies. Boom phase of the growth creates numerous job opportunities while the bust phase of the cycle collapses these jobs.

Fishmeal, which is derived from wild capture is the processed meal for the aquaculture carnivorous fish. It is majorly processed from fresh wild captured small, bony/oily fish and a small fraction is processed from the other fish trimmings (or fish waste). These kind of captured fish and by-products are not suitable for direct human consumption.
