Incorporating modern farming techniques and biotechnological approaches in the freshwater aquaculture industry helps to address today production challenges. This new book, Advances in Freshwater Aquaculture: Technology for Sustainable Development, explores the integration of both established practices and cutting-edge technologies to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of freshwater aquaculture systems.

The book covers a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from the current state of freshwater aquaculture in India and around the world, to diverse advances in aquaculture technology and research. Topics include to the use of aquaponics in urban areas; biosecurity approaches and environmental DNA (EDNA) surveillance to prevent, control, and eradicate fish diseases; and fish nutrition issues, including nutrigenomics, functional feed additives, phytotherapy, and probiotics for fish health.

The volume addresses environmental issues in aquaculture such as the effects of warming and pollution on aquatic environments and how to address environmental challenges, such as by the use of integrated water resources management (IWRM), by minimizing environmental waste from aquaculture, by employing remote sensing and geographic information systems, and more.

Providing a valuable overview of the field of modern freshwater aquaculture, this volume will be valuable to professionals in aquaculture and fish management as well as for aquaculture entrepreneurs and students and faculty.
