Sustainable seafood production relies on continuous advancements in aquaculture science, a multidisciplinary field integrating biology, chemistry, engineering, and environmental management. With the increasing demand for aquatic food resources, researchers are exploring innovative farming techniques, disease prevention strategies, and ecosystem-friendly approaches to optimize production. Water quality management, feed formulation, and habitat conservation remain central to ensuring the health and growth of farmed species. Advances in microbiome research and biofloc technology have improved waste management, reducing environmental impact while enhancing nutrient recycling. Additionally, precision aquaculture, driven by artificial intelligence and sensor-based monitoring, is transforming traditional practices by enabling real-time data collection and predictive analytics. By addressing challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and species adaptation, the evolving field of Aquaculture Science plays a pivotal role in shaping resilient and efficient food systems to meet the needs of a growing global population.
