Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable aquaculture practices focus on the production of aquatic organisms, including fish, shellfish and seaweed, in an environmentally responsible and socially equitable manner. These practices aim to minimize negative impacts on natural ecosystems, conserve biodiversity and support food safety.
We are pleased to invite you to submit your work to our Special Issue, “Aquaculture Sustainability: Health, Environment and Functional Feed.” This Special Issue emphasizes environmental sustainability in aquaculture and aims to highlight innovative strategies and technologies that promote sustainable production.
We welcome the submission of original research articles and review papers. Relevant research topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Aquafeed development
Reducing dependence on fishmeal and fish oil derived from wild fisheries by exploring alternative sources, such as plant-based proteins and insect proteins.
Disease Control
Development and application of functional feed additives for disease management and immunomodulation, with the aim of reducing reliance on antibiotics and chemical treatments, thereby mitigating environmental impacts.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
