Abstract
Description
The chapter explores the application of nanochitosan in detoxification and
depuration of captive fish towards attainment of Sustainable Development
Goal 14. The application of nanochitosan in fish detoxification, often referred
to as nano-based depuration, represents a cutting-edge and sustainable
approach to addressing the challenges posed by environmental contaminants
in aquaculture. This innovative method harnesses the unique properties of
nanochitosan, a nanoscale derivative of chitosan, to capture, immobilize, and
gradually release contaminants in aquatic environments. Nanochitosan-based
fish detoxification or nano-depuration represents a forward-looking approach
to ensuring the safety and sustainability of aquaculture practices. This method
leverages nanochitosan’s unique properties, such as adsorption capacity and
controlled release, to reduce the bioavailability of contaminants, protect fish
health, and enhance the quality of seafood products. It aligns with the
principles of environmental responsibility and offers the flexibility to address
diverse contaminant profiles, making it a promising tool in the field of
aquaculture and environmental management.
