The first theme of the book is "Aquaculture and Fisheries." It examines modern aquaculture technology, sustainable practises, industry issues, and potential. The second theme, "Fisheries Biology, Resources, and Post-Harvest Management," investigates fish species biology, sustainable resource management, and effective post-harvest strategies. Theme 3: “Aquatic Environment Management” explains about the current trends in coastal regulation, marine microplastics, pollution impact and diversity profiles. Theme 4: "Fish Processing, Fisheries Engineering, and Fishing Technology" investigates novel methods and equipment utilised in fish processing and fishing technology. Theme 5, "Fisheries Economics, Extension, and Statistics", focuses on fisheries economics, the importance of extension services, and data-driven decision-making for effective fisheries management. Theme 6, "Fish Pathology, Genetics, Biotechnology, and Nutrition," is concerned with fish health, genetics, biotechnological applications, and the importance of good nutrition in aquaculture. Furthermore, this book insights a complete overview of the fisheries and aquaculture industry's multidisciplinary field. It is helpful for individuals interested in the development of sustainable fisheries and the expansion of the aquaculture sector. "Holistic Insights into Fisheries and Aquaculture" provides a current view of the sector while also setting precedent for future developments and ethical practises through contributions from professionals in the area.
