The book, "Sustainable Aquaculture: Innovative Strategies" explores transformative practices and cutting-edge approaches essential for ensuring the sustainable growth of aquaculture. The idea for this book was born out of a profound passion for aquaculture and its potential to significantly contribute to global food supply. Recent advancements in technology, scientific research, and policy frameworks have created new opportunities for sustainable practices. Our aim is to present these innovative strategies comprehensively, offering valuable insights to researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and students. Our goal is to provide a holistic perspective on sustainable aquaculture, integrating scientific research, practical applications, and policy considerations. The strategies discussed represent the innovative approaches driving the industry's progress towards sustainability. We hope this book will inspire further advancements in sustainable aquaculture.
