Aquaculture is undergoing a transformative shift driven by cutting-edge technologies, climate resilience strategies, and a growing demand for sustainable food systems. This book brings together pioneering research and expert perspectives that collectively chart a path toward the future of aquaculture and fisheries in India and globally.
Covering a wide range of innovative topics—including nanotechnology, microbial nutrition, climate-smart aquaculture, biotechnology, wastewater remediation, and environmental DNA (eDNA)—the book provides a multidisciplinary approach to addressing the complex challenges in aquaculture production. Contributors delve into real-world applications of next-generation sequencing, phytoremediation, hormone regulation in fish reproduction, and the potential of phyto-biotics to enhance aquatic health.
The book also addresses critical environmental concerns, such as heavy metal and pesticide toxicity, carbon footprint mitigation, and offshore aquaculture, offering practical solutions and policy insights. In addition, chapters highlight the socioeconomic dimensions of fisheries, including loss assessments and strategic planning for a resilient and profitable sector.
