Innovative Strategies in Fisheries Nutrition by Ishtiyaq Ahmad

Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic organisms, has become a cornerstone of global food security, providing nearly half of the world seafood. As demand continues to rise, the industry faces pressing challenges: environmental degradation, resource depletion, and socio-economic disparities. This book, Innovative Strategies for Sustainable Aquaculture, 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.
