l Ecohistories of aquaculture suggest that aquaculture is a natural part of human development throughout history and that modern, industrial aquaculture could strengthen its social and ecological roots by articulating its evolution along a sustainability trajectory and by adopting fully the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) ecosystems approach to aquaculture (EAA; Soto et al., 2008). The ...

global aquaculture production has more than tripled during the last 15 years, and aquaculture is expected to account an increasing share in global seafood production. there are large differences among countries in the rate of growth and development of aquaculture. this review tries to explain the progress and problems of aquaculture during three last decades in iran. the total production of ira...

Abstract Climate change is an inevitable event that obstructs the output of aquaculture farms and culture-based fisheries in open waters. It poses a serious threat to global food security, altering biodiversity, ecosystems, fish by displacing stocks from their natural habitats. When compared freshwater aquaculture, marine/coastal more affected. To combat effects climate change, several mitigati...

GOAL, SCOPE AND BACKGROUND Aquaculture activities are well known to be the major contributor to the increasing level of organic waste and toxic compound in the aquaculture industry. Along with the development of intensive aquaculture in China, concerns are evoked about the possible effects of ever-increasing aquaculture waste both on productivity inside the aquaculture system and on the ambient...

Similar to fresh- and brackish water aquaculture ponds, commercial shrimp farming in degraded saline areas holds the potential bury carbon (C) sediments. However, studies on mechanisms of sediment C dynamics C-flux response inland management practices are still scarce. Therefore, objectives present study quantify burial rate ponds assess impact sensitive fractions bottom ponds. The samples (n =...

Aquaculture has been considered as an option to cope with the world food demand. However, criticisms have arisen around aquaculture, most of them related to the destruction of ecosystems such as mangrove forest to construct aquaculture farms, as well as the environmental impacts of the effluents on the receiving ecosystems. The inherent benefits of aquaculture such as massive food production an...

The U.S. marine aquaculture industry is extremely young. While catfish and trout culture have existed for many decades, the cultivation of species in marine and coastal environments has only emerged within the last 30 yr. Only 15% of total domestic aquaculture production in 1991 consisted of marine species, with oysters representing 80% of marine aquaculture production. The U.S. marine aquacult...

Costa-Pierce (2002) defined "ecological aquaculture" as an alternative model that uses ecological principles and ecosystems thinking as the fundamental organizing paradigm for the development of aquaculture. Ecological aquaculture incorporates—at the outset—the principles of natural and social ecology, planning for community development, and concerns for the wider social, economic, and environm...

Aquaculture remains a growing, vibrant and important production sector for high-protein animal food that is easily digestible and of high biological value. Globally, marine and inland capture fisheries provide two-thirds of the total food fish supply with the remaining one-third being derived from aquaculture [1]. The reported global production of food fish from aquaculture, including fin fishe...

An increasing global population has meant aquaculture, one of the fastest growing food industry sectors, faces significant sustainability challenges as it tries to address rising protein demand. In many production is underpinned by fishmeal dietary ingredient, but this a finite resource with competing users from poultry and livestock industries. Alternatively, some (planktonic) aquatic species,...
