Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquaculture remains one of the fastest-growing food sectors worldwide, playing a pivotal role not only in combating hunger but also in achieving several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined in the 2030 Agenda. However, the adoption of sustainable practices that ensure environmental health—aligned with the One Health approach—is essential for maintaining aquaculture’s prominence in global food supply systems.
At the same time, the oceans harbour an immense reservoir of microbial biodiversity, which holds significant potential for addressing longstanding challenges in aquaculture.
In light of this, this Special Issue aims to disseminate high-impact research and review articles on the latest advancements in sustainable aquaculture and the blue revolution. The main focal points include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sustainable aquafeeds and resource optimization;
- Circular economy in aquaculture;
- One Health approach in Aquaculture;
- Microbial biotechnology in Aquaculture;
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) application in precision aquaculture.
