The role of Biotech in advancing sustainable fish farming
Authors
V Mohan Raj
Abstract
Biotechnology has emerged as a cornerstone of modern aquaculture,
utilizing advanced methods like genetic engineering and selective breeding to
improve disease resistance and accelerate growth rates in aquatic species. As
the fastest-expanding segment of the agricultural industry, fish farming is
currently vital in meeting the world’s surging appetite for seafood. This
rising consumer demand is colliding with a critical environmental crisis: the
rapid depletion of wild fish populations caused by unsustainable over-fishing. With
aquaculture already supplying more than 18 million tons of seafood to the
global food chain annually, researchers are increasingly turning to
biotechnological innovation to bridge the gap between supply and demand. By
leveraging these technologies, scientists can isolate and merge desirable
genetic traits to ensure both superior quality and higher yield.
