The book presents a comprehensive examination of the evolving challenges and opportunities in fisheries and aquaculture under changing environmental and climatic conditions. The book highlights the growing importance of the Blue Economy framework, emphasizing the sustainable utilization of aquatic resources for economic development, food security, and ecological conservation. It explores the impacts of climate change, environmental degradation, and resource overexploitation on aquatic ecosystems and aquaculture production systems.
The volume integrates scientific research, case studies, and innovative technological approaches including recirculating aquaculture systems, integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, digital monitoring technologies, ecosystem-based fisheries management, and climate-smart aquaculture practices. It also discusses governance frameworks, socio-economic vulnerabilities of coastal communities, resource management challenges, and sustainability-oriented policy interventions.
Designed for students, researchers, fisheries professionals, policymakers, and environmental practitioners, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding resilient and sustainable aquaculture systems that balance productivity, environmental stewardship, and long-term aquatic resource sustainability.
