The welfare of farmed fish is often regarded with less concern than the welfare of other husbandry animals, as fish are not universally classified as sentient beings. In Norway, farmed fish and other husbandry animals are legally protected under the...
Novel genome editing techniques allow for efficient and targeted improvement of aquaculture stock and might be a solution to solve challenges related to disease and environmental impacts. This review has retrieved the latest research on genome...
Aquaculture is the productive activity that will play a crucial role in the millennium's challenges, such as the need for proteins that support humans and respect for the environment. Aquaculture is an important economic activity in the Mediterranean...
Aquatic foods are rich in micronutrients essential to human health, and fisheries and aquaculture are increasingly recognized for their capacity to contribute to reducing global micronutrient deficiencies and diet-based health risks. Whether...
Aquaculture can have negative environmental impacts, adding to the suite of anthropogenic stressors that challenge coastal ecosystems. However, a growing body of scientific evidence indicates that the commercial cultivation of bivalve shellfish and...
Coastal seas worldwide are under increasing anthropogenic pressures due to the rapid expansion of the maritime industry and coastal urbanisation. Multi-use (MU) of ocean space, meaning the use of the same space by multiple resource users, has emerged...
The investigation of wave climate is of primary concern for the successful implementation of offshore aquaculture systems, as waves can cause significant loads on them. Up until now, site selection and design (or selection) of offshore cage system...
