Abstract

Aquaculture is among the quickest-growing food production sectors which enormously contribute to food and nutritional security. The demand for fish is going to double by the year 2050. Thus, the fish production needs to increase on a huge scale. However, there are numerous challenges such as climate change, emergence of new pathogenic strains, alterations in fish reproductive physiology, reduced availability of nutrition, and many more. Nanotechnology has emerged as an advanced multidisciplinary scientific tool that could be applied to every sphere of aquaculture to enhance production with sustainability. In this chapter, applications of nanotechnology for addressing the next-generation challenges in aquaculture are discussed in details.
