Description
Description
The book begins with foundational concepts, including green synthesis methods and bio-therapeutic developments from aquatic organic resources. It discusses the use of nanomaterials in fish feed design, health, and nutrition, alongside analyses of eco-toxicity, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in aquatic food webs. Remediation and purification strategies are presented to support aquatic health, addressing eutrophication mitigation and sustainable aquaculture with reduced environmental footprints. Further chapters discuss risk assessment methodologies, environmental modeling tools, and international regulatory approaches that ensure the safe and ethical application of nanomaterials in aquatic environments.
This book is an essential resource for researchers, scientists, and industry professionals dedicated to advancing sustainable nanotechnology applications within aquatic ecosystems.
