Abstract

The history of conventional aquaculture dates back about 4,000 years. Several factors, including a limited variety of improved cultivable species, inadequate feed and nutritional management, labor-intensive practices, environmental contamination, and insufficient product traceability, are hindering aquaculture production in relation to the growing global population. This context aims to discussion on world panorama of cutting edge practices and technological innovation that could provide solution for profitable production with minimal negative environmental impacts. Furthermore, the gap between technological innovations and their adoption could be optimize through integration, surveillance and government initiation into aquaculture.
