Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine aquaculture and fisheries represents one of the fastest growing industries around the world, contributing to over half of the seafood consumed globally. As seafood demand continues to rise, many factors that can impact the fisheries industry must be considered. These include climate change, overfishing, pollution, and inadequate management practices. Promoting sustainable marine aquaculture and fisheries is key to ensuring the long-term viability of this industry, preserving food security, and conserving our natural resources for future generations. This Special Issue of Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jmse) aims to promote research that focuses on sustainability in marine aquaculture and fisheries, including topics related to ecosystem-based management and restoration, environmental changes, aquatic ecology and organismal health, and technological advancements that increase efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and enhance resiliency in seafood production.
