Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The optimal management of wastewater, particularly in the context of aquaculture, has emerged as a critical challenge for sustainable development worldwide. Aiming to promote sustainable and smart aquaculture, this Special Issue will explore cutting-edge advancements, policy frameworks, and innovative strategies in wastewater treatment, especially regarding impacts on aquaculture and water quality. In particular, research relevant to advanced biotechnological and physicochemical treatment systems, circular aquaculture systems, policy-driven sustainability, and smart and digitalized monitoring for precision management is welcome in this Special Issue.
