Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the context of the world it is essential to invest in the production of animal protein, including aquaculture, with marine and coastal fish farming constituting a promising activity for the production of fish with high nutritional value. This activity contributes significantly to the minimization of the harmful effects of overexploitation on fish stocks of commercial interest. Marine and coastal aquaculture potential has grown, with the knowledge and improvement of cultivation strategies and techniques, from breeding to fattening, being necessary to achieve a high level of sustainable fish production with high nutritional content and benefits to human health. The production of live food in the larval stage should be highlighted, aiming to optimize survival, weight gain, genetic improvement, sanity and biotechnology developments. This Special Issue invites the submission of original research or review papers that highlight fish farming techniques and feed quality methods to achieve high-quality fish production, contributing to global food demands and nutritional security.
