Description

A rapid decline in the biomass of top freshwater and marine predators has been observed in the past 50 years and for some species such as bluefin tuna populations are expected to be extinct in the next decades. Overexploitations of many fish species both are serious problems worldwide. The exploitations of small fishes or “trash fish” as raw materials for productions of fish sauces or for artificial feeds for farmed animals is depleting the last fish resources. The problem is worsening with the impact of climate change and other human activities such as coastal planning, tourism on the fisheries.

While fisheries are facing overexploitations, aquaculture production has increased rapidly to provide an important protein source for human. However, the intensive aquaculture production has also resulted in severe environmental issues, from deforestation, nutrient pollution, diseases, river and coastal spatial planning and the conflict of interests with other sectors. All of these issues have feedback on aquaculture production.

Therefore, sustainable aquaculture and fisheries are of critical important for food security of for more than 8 billion of the human population. In this special issue, we welcome all the submissions, from primary research papers, short communications, reviews, mini reviews, perspectives on the fisheries science. Main themes for this special issue are, but not limited to:

• Sustainable exploitations of large marine fish
• Sustainable exploitations of trash fish as materials for animal feed productions
• New methods and technologies (e.g., AI) for sustainable aquaculture, fisheries and managements
• Carbon footprint of aquaculture production
• Environmental impacts from aquaculture production
• Issues in coastal aquaculture and fisheries
• Issues in offshore aquaculture and fisheries
• Impact of climate change on aquaculture fisheries
• The conflicts of aquaculture and fisheries with other sectors and wildlife
