Description
Zero-Waste Technologies in Aquaculture: Global Perspectives and Methods toward a Circular Economy addresses the crucial aspects of waste management, available strategies for attaining a circular economy, and novel technologies to improve the sustainability of the aquaculture industry. As global demand for fish and fish products grows, commercial aquaculture operations must optimize resource utilization and reduce environmental impacts to ensure sustainable scaleup. This book discusses promising technologies like biofloc, aquaponics, recirculating aquaculture systems, integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, microbial fermentation, insect-mediated bioconversion, and algal-based waste utilization. Written and edited by a diverse team of experts, Zero-Waste Technologies in Aquaculture bridges disciplines in aquaculture, biology, and environmental engineering. It opens by addressing the recent history, significance, and challenges of global aquaculture expansion to provide context for these diverse audiences. Subsequent chapters explore proven, novel, and emerging technologies for wastewater treatment, solid waste recovery and valorization, and sustainable, environmentally conscious system scaleup. This is an essential read for aquaculturists, aquatic biologists, environmental scientists, and those interested in the economics of fish production.
