D.K. Meena, Binod Choudhury, Sachin Onkar Khairnar, Soibam Khogen Singh, Nitesh Kumar Yadav, Sourabh Debbarma
Background
The world's population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, putting immense pressure on the global food system to produce more food while minimizing its environmental footprint. Aquaculture, the practice of farming aquatic animals and plants, has emerged as a vital component of the global food system, providing a sustainable source of protein for millions of people. However, the rapid growth of the aquaculture industry has also raised concerns about its environmental and social impacts. In response to these challenges, the concept of sustainable aquaculture has gained significant attention in recent years. Sustainable aquaculture refers to the practice of farming aquatic animals and plants in a way that minimizes harm to the environment, conserves natural resources, and promotes social responsibility. This book provides a comprehensive overview of sustainable aquaculture practices, covering various themes and topics that are essential for the development of a sustainable and responsible aquaculture industry. The book is divided into 6 themes, each consisting of three chapters that delve into the concepts, benefits, and best practices of sustainable aquaculture. The themes cover a range of topics, including integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, land-based systems, saline environments, cage aquaculture, animal health and welfare, and climate change. The book also explores the social and economic benefits of sustainable aquaculture, including its potential to provide livelihoods for millions of people and contribute to food security. The book is intended for a wide range of audiences, including aquaculture practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and students. It provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about sustainable aquaculture practices and their potential to contribute to a more sustainable and food-secure future.
