Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fisheries and aquaculture are important sectors for food, welfare and the economy of many regions, as well as for the environmental state of seas and oceans. Both activities are currently at a time of critical analysis of their impacts and a debate on the necessary technical, commercial and management changes to ensure their sustainability. The objective of this Special Issue is to critically analyze the current situation of fisheries and aquaculture, as well as to address various debates and initiatives that are leading to significant innovations in both sectors. Critical analyses of the economic, social and environmental impacts of fisheries and aquaculture are welcome, as well as analyses that propose new alternative forms of management, production, diversification and marketing. We are looking for papers from any region of the world and from different methodologies to contribute novelties to the current debate on where fisheries and aquaculture are and where they should be heading.
