* By Harshit Singh, Shashank Singh, Arya Singh, Sumit Kumar and Anil Singh Nanotechnology revolutionizes aquaculture by improving nutritional efficiency, advancing targeted disease prevention through nano vaccine delivery, and supporting real-time aquatic environment monitoring. These innovations promote both productivity and sustainability, but they also require robust risk assessments and regulatory oversight to address potential toxicity and environmental impacts. Future advancements in...
By Sonia A. Soto-Rodríguez*, Bruno Gomez-Gil, Rodolfo Lozano-Olvera, Karla G. Aguilar-Rendon, Jean Pierre González-Gómez, Cristobal Chaidez Shrimp aquaculture faces persistent bacterial challenges, particularly AHPND caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus harboring pirAB toxin genes. Traditional mitigation approaches offer inconsistent outcomes and raise sustainability concerns. Bacteriophage therapy, utilizing viruses that target and lyse bacterial hosts, presents a promising, eco-friendly alternative to bacterial diseases....
*By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team From fishmeal dependence to molecular nutrition, aquaculture has transformed over two decades, tripling production while cutting feed ratios. Today, the sector faces the challenge of sustainable growth: replacing scarce ingredients, reducing emissions, and harnessing biotechnology. The future lies in precision diets, innovative proteins, and AI-driven solutions for global food security. Over the last two decades, aquaculture...
