Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Marine aquaculture plays a pivotal role in satisfying the global demand for seafood and influencing various social and economic sectors, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biotechnology, education, conservation, recreational fishing and ornamental fish industries. Despite its significance, it confronts substantial challenges due to climate change and the increasing need to encourage its sustainability. Tackling these evolving issues necessitates research and innovative interventions in resource management, spanning crucial domains such as land and water utilization, aquaculture systems and technologies, water quality management, sustainable feeds and feed management, biodiversity and genetic management, disease and health management, energy efficiency, waste management, regulatory compliance and certification programs.

This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, case studies and reviews addressing these key domains, preferably focusing on a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, crucial for effective resource management in aquaculture. It aims to foster sustainable marine aquaculture practices while minimizing its pressures at environmental, social and economic levels.
