This study employs a global Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to quantify the effects of aquaculture production on agricultural markets, food prices and land use. We conduct a scenario analysis simulating, first, the fish sector developments expected by FAO; second, a rebuilding of...

This study on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Indian shrimp farming underscores its critical impact on public health, environmental sustainability, and economic viability. The global scenario with many export rejections on account of persistent residues of antibiotics, reiterate that...

Finfish aquaculture is the farming of freshwater and marine fish species in controlled aquatic enclosures such as ponds, lakes, reservoirs, or net pens in the sea. These can be completely closed systems such as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), semi-closed systems such as...

Shellfish aquaculture is the cultivation and harvest of aquatic invertebrates, including molluscs such as mussels, oysters and clams, echinoderms, such as sea urchins and sea cucumbers, and crustaceans like shrimps. Various farming techniques exist for this type of aquaculture, depending on the...

A Sustainable Blue Economy offers many solutions to achieve the European Green Deal objectives. However, this requires current activities, technologies and processes to reduce their carbon footprint. In response, the European Commission adopted a package of measures in February 2023 including...
