Plenty of fish on the farm

Abstract

The aquaculture industry is expected to meet the projected future increase in seafood demand, but conventional open aquaculture systems result in pollution and environmental degradation. Next-gen solutions, such as land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and offshore aquaculture, can reduce environmental impacts but rely on greater energy inputs. This trade-off underscores the importance of cheap, low-carbon energy for sustainable aquaculture, highlighting the centrality of energy in environmental challenges. – AI-generated abstract.
