Scope of the journal

Journal of Aquaculture and Environmental Impacts covers a broad range of topics related to aquaculture and its interactions with the environment, including but not limited to:

Sustainable Aquaculture Practices: Research on methods and technologies for enhancing the sustainability of aquaculture operations, including feed management, resource efficiency, and waste reduction.

Environmental Impacts: Studies on the ecological effects of aquaculture on surrounding environments, including water quality, habitat alteration, and impacts on local biodiversity.

Aquaculture Systems: Investigations into various aquaculture systems such as pond culture, recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), and offshore aquaculture, including their environmental and economic implications.

Disease Management and Biosecurity: Research on the management of diseases in aquaculture species, including strategies for preventing outbreaks, controlling pathogens, and improving biosecurity measures.

Genetics and Breeding: Studies on the genetic improvement of aquaculture species, including selective breeding, genetic diversity, and the use of biotechnology for enhancing performance and resilience.

Nutritional Requirements: Research on the nutritional needs of aquaculture species, including feed formulation, alternative feed ingredients, and the impact of nutrition on growth and health.

Climate Change and Aquaculture: Investigations into the effects of climate change on aquaculture systems, including temperature variations, ocean acidification, and changes in species distribution.

Regulation and Policy: Studies on regulatory frameworks and policies related to aquaculture, including environmental regulations, certification standards, and best practice guidelines.

Socioeconomic Impacts: Research on the economic and social impacts of aquaculture, including market dynamics, community benefits, and the role of aquaculture in food security and rural development.

Aquaculture and Ecosystem Services: Exploration of the role of aquaculture in providing ecosystem services, such as nutrient recycling, habitat enhancement, and contribution to local livelihoods.

Innovative Technologies: Advances in technology relevant to aquaculture, including monitoring systems, automation, and data analytics for improving efficiency and reducing environmental impacts.
