Nanotechnology in Fisheries and Aquaculture

The result of collaborative efforts from leading experts and researchers in nanotechnology, fisheries, and aquaculture, this two-volume set provides a valuable resource on harnessing the potential of nanotechnology to advance productivity, sustainability, and innovation in fisheries and aquaculture.This volume introduces the principles and applications of nanotechnology in aquaculture while also examining the challenges and safety considerations. It explores nanotechnological interventions in aquaculture and aquatic biotechnology, nanomaterials for improved fish growth and development, and the role of nanotechnology in addressing the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems. A key focus is the environmental impact and safety of nanoparticles in aquatic systems, including risk assessment and strategies for mitigating potential hazards. Chapters also examine nanotechnology for environmental remediation, biosensors and nanodevices for water-quality monitoring, and eco-friendly nanomaterials that can reduce the environmental footprint of aquaculture.Together with Volume 2: Fish Nutrition, Health, Disease Diagnosis, Treatment, and Production, this book provides comprehensive information on the latest technological advances in the use of nanotechnology to advance productivity, sustainability, and innovation in fisheries and aquaculture.
