Positioning of Aquaculture In Blue Growth And Sustainable Development Goals Through New Knowledge, Ecological Perspectives And Analytical Solutions.

Aquaculture is undergoing a rapid phase of expansion as never before. Like any food-producing sector, there are environmental, social and economic implications of aquaculture development as well. It is imperative to identify actions and potential for promoting business ideas behind aquaculture syste...
