Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid growth in modern aquaculture reflects people's increasing demands for seafood. As the global population and consumption of aquatic food increase, innovative production systems are needed. Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RASs) have many advantages over others, such as high yield and efficiency, water conservation, environmental protection, strong system controllability, and high product quality. It can provide a suitable, stable, and controllable environment for rearing aquatic animals, and is one of the important development directions in the modern aquaculture industry.
Improvements in RASs may contribute to achieving sustainable aquaculture, and understanding RASs and applying this knowledge to the latest RAS technology is crucial. Since the 1960s, research in the above-mentioned fields has made rapid progress in many aspects; therefore, it is necessary to integrate the latest information on the development of aquaculture.
This Special Issue aims to provide the latest information on fish farming in RASs to develop the technology and basic theory of RASs. Submissions may take the form of original research, full or mini-reviews, and perspectives on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Recirculating aquaculture;
- The regulatory function of mechanical factors in RAS;
- The interaction between the RAS and the environment;
- Analysis of the inherent species potential for culturing in RAS;
- New technologies for RAS;
- Welfare of the animals reared in RAS;
- Development of urban aquaculture using RAS.
