Perspectives of Nanotechnology in Aquaculture: Fish Nutrition, Disease, and Water Treatment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Emerging Nanomaterials for Advanced Technologies

Part of the book series: Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences ((NALIS))

Abstract

The narrative that aquaculture is one of the significant global food producing sectors of the century is undisputable. However, the expansion of this sector presents doubts on its sustainability because pathogen prevalence, water contamination, environmental destruction, and poor feed quality are some of the challenges negatively impacting aquaculture to perform to its full potential. For this reason, researchers and overseers have been hard at work to discover effective remedies to deal with these challenges in aquaculture. Among the remedies, nanotechnology has emerged as one of the significant innovations with a huge potential to contribute to aquaculture’s sustainability with nanotools such as nanoparticles and nanomaterials that could be used as novel fish growth promoters, vaccines, drug delivery agents, and water filtration and remediation tools. Therefore, this chapter will report on the application of nanotechnology in aquaculture particularly in fish nutrition, disease and water quality management; presenting the trends and perspectives.
