Nanotechnology in Aquaculture


In aquaculture, nanotechnology has a broad spectrum of applications from the sterilization of ponds, water treatment, detection and control of aquatic diseases, efficient delivery of nutrients and drugs (including hormones and vaccines) to the enhancement of fish potential in absorbing these substances.Nanotechnology can increase agricultural production, and its applications include: (1) nanoformulations of agrochemicals for applying pesticides and fertilizers for crop improvement; (2) the application of nanosensors in crop protection for the identification of diseases and residues of agrochemicals; (3) nanodevices.



 Nanotechnology is an emerging area that engages almost every technical discipline - from chemistry to computer science - in the study and application of extremely tiny materials. It is one of the top ranked subject related to academic and research. In recent years, aquaculture is considered a fastest‐blooming global food industry, playing a crucial role in fulfilling the increased demand for animal protein requirements. However, disease prevalence, chemical contamination, environmental degradation and ineffective feed utilization are the factors that drastically hinder the outcome of this sector in aiding to achieve global food security.
