Fish farming and sea ranching could provide nearly 40 per cent of all fish for the human diet and more than half of the value of the global fish catch within 15 minutes. Ismail Serageldin, the World Bank's vice president for environmentally sustainable development, said: "The next great leap in producing food will come from 'domesticated' and genetically fish and other seafood." Mr. Serageldin is also chair of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) which released recently a new report on the global fish situation. CGIAR is co-sponsored by the Bank, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
