PREFACE

Aquaculture plays an increasingly critical role in global food security, economic development, and sustainability of ecosystems. However, its rapid expansion also poses significant challenges, including environmental pressures, resource inefficiencies, and socio-cultural complexities. In this context, sustainable aquaculture practices aim to enhance production efficiency while minimizing environmental and societal impacts.

This book, Aquaculture Sustainability: Feeding Strategies, Environmental Impact, and Solutions, provides a comprehensive overview of the knowledge and practices necessary to promote sustainability in aquaculture. Comprising 11 chapters, this work addresses diverse aspects of the sector and bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications, serving as a valuable resource for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers.

Each chapter is designed to deepen understanding, foster innovative approaches, and offer practical solutions that balance ecological, economic, and social considerations. We extend our gratitude to all contributing authors and the Global Academy Publishing team for their efforts, and hope this work serves as a meaningful contribution to both the science and practice of sustainable aquaculture.
