Abstract
Description
The fishery and aquaculture industries are dealing with more issues pertaining
to sustainability, disease control, and environmental impact as the demand for
seafood around the world rises. The unique properties and versatility of
nanochitosan have made it a promising solution to these problems. The
potential uses and difficulties of nanochitosan in fisheries and aquaculture
systems are examined in this chapter. The prospects of nanochitosan in these
industries are multifaceted. Through targeted drug delivery, improved disease
management, and optimized feed efficiency, they present opportunities for
sustainable aquaculture practices. Nanochitosan also holds promise in
environmental remediation, customized aquaculture solutions, and ecofriendly
pesticide applications. However, several challenges must be
addressed to fully realize the potential of nanochitosan in fishery and
aquaculture. Regulatory approval and safety assessments are essential to
ensure the responsible use of these nanoparticles. Cost-effectiveness and
scalability of production methods must be achieved to meet industry
demands. Concerns about nanoparticle accumulation in aquatic organisms
and long-term ecological impacts necessitate more comprehensive research.
