A description of how Indian Ocean aquaculture industry was developed during these last 25 years will be presented, emphasizing specific constraints and challenges to achieve such success in developing countries with very limited logistics and energy access. Long term vision and ethics are required to survive climatic, political and sanitary crisis occurring during that journey, and to demonstrate that it can become a sustainable industry, providing stable incomes to local communities. A roadmap towards future challenges for aquaculture in this region of the World will then be presented.
