Aquaculture species conservation plays a critical role in maintaining biodiversity and ensuring sustainable aquatic farming practices. It involves efforts to protect endangered species, promote genetic diversity, and restore natural habitats. Conservation strategies may include selective breeding programs, breeding in captivity, and restocking efforts. Protecting these species helps prevent overfishing and reduces pressures on wild populations. By focusing on species conservation, the aquaculture industry can contribute to the health of aquatic ecosystems while also securing food production and economic stability for communities reliant on aquaculture. Additionally, these initiatives provide ecological benefits, such as preserving ecosystem services that support marine and freshwater biodiversity.
