Aquaculture is a major food producing sector of the world, delivering nutritious food around the globe and generating substantial entrepreneurship as well as job opportunities. This new book, Sustainable Aquaculture: Recent Advances and Techniques, provides comprehensive insights into current aspects of aquaculture as well as recent technological advances in the field. It offers information on new technologies and innovations, management practices, diversification efforts, environmental impacts, and biosecurity issues in aquaculture today.

The book first covers the status and scope of contemporary aquaculture, giving an overview and synoptic understanding of the sector. It then proceeds to cover specific issues for sustainable aquaculture, such as the use of probiotics and microbial approaches. Chapters address sea cage farming, biofloc technology, aquaponics, biochar production techniques, water quality management, and aeration management. The book also presents new research on genetics, biotechnological approaches, vaccinations, and nutrient recycling in aquaculture.

Key features:

  • Provides an overview of the current status and scope of the aquaculture sector
  • Presents new technological advances and emerging trends in aquaculture
  • Looks at genetic and biotechnological approaches for sustainable aquaculture
  • Includes innovative applications of probiotics and other microbes for better aquaculture management
  • Highlights new methods for aquaculture sustainability and environmental conservation
Covering myriad aspects of aquaculture, ranging from technological advancements and emerging trends to sustainability and environmental conservation, this volume will be a valuable resource for aquaculturists, aquaculture and fishery researchers, as well as industry experts.
