dc.descriptionThe 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.
