abstract
Nanotechnology, with its potential to revolutionize various industries, has found a promising niche in fisheries and aquaculture. This review explores the multifaceted applications of nanotechnology in fisheries, shedding light on its transformative impacts. We delve into how nanomaterials, nanoparticles, and nanodevices are being harnessed to enhance water quality in aquaculture systems, boost fish health, optimize feed, and create advanced monitoring tools. The convergence of nanotechnology and fisheries has opened new avenues for sustainable practices, ranging from improved fish farming to eco-friendly fishing gear. However, this promising synergy also poses challenges, including environmental concerns and ethical considerations. As we navigate this emerging field, we identify future research directions and opportunities for harnessing nanotechnology's full potential in fisheries.
