Restraints:

• High Aquaculture Production Costs: The GCC’s high production costs make it difficult to build a strong domestic aquaculture sector. To establish sustainable aquaculture habitats, large investments in infrastructure and technology are required due to the arid climate and scarcity of natural water supplies. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) may find these expenses unaffordable, and they may also restrict the expansion and scalability of the domestic aquaculture industry. Seafood produced locally is also more expensive due to high manufacturing expenses, which reduces its ability to compete with less expensive imports.
