Abstract
Important operational changes that have gradually been
assimilated and new approaches that are developing as part
of the movement toward sustainable intensive aquaculture
production systems are presented via historical, current, and
future perspectives. Improved environmental and economic
sustainability based on increased efficiency of production
continues to be realized. As a result, aquaculture continues
to reduce its carbon footprint through reduced greenhouse
gas emissions. Reduced use of freshwater and land
resources per unit of production, improved feed management practices as well as increased knowledge of
nutrient requirements, effective feed ingredients and additives,
domestication of species, and new farming practices
are now being applied or evaluated. Successful expansion
into culture of marine species, both off and on shore, offers
the potential of substantial increases in sustainable intensive
aquaculture production combined with integrative efforts to
increase efficiency will principally contribute to satisfying
the increasing global demand for protein and food security
needs.
