Abstract

This special issue brings together some of the major research issues in sustainable fisheries, aquaculture and food security related topics that are of utmost importance to Asian fisheries sector. It encompasses a wide range of research topics that have been addressed by the scientists of Malaysia, Korea and Bangladesh. We received more than 45 research manuscripts on fisheries and aquaculture titles from the conference participants. After meticulous professional review and editing, a total of 36 revised papers were selected for publication in this special issue of 2020 Journal of Environmental Biology. The selected papers met the requirement of both the academics as well as the general public interest and provided a wide range of current significant aquaculture and fisheries issues of the tropical environments. In the exact sense of the word, the Guest Editors would like to sincerely thank all the contributors of this special issue for their untiring time and efforts in making this publication possible. Sustainable aquaculture and other fisheries activities will continue to be of immense importance to the nation food security agenda of the Asian country and still one of the important agricultural sectors providing job opportunities to the people. It is under this pretext that this special issue can be of a significant contribution to the fisheries industry through sharing of research information and practical findings.

??????????? This special issue has two major fields on aquaculture and fisheries innovation, which explain how different aquaculture systems and fisheries innovative technology could maximize the benefits that society receives from both aquaculture production and the capture fisheries services.? Sustainable development of aquaculture and fisheries must take into account the innovative techniques for an efficient and environmentally sound production of food. Although some issues regarding the potential benefits and implementation of sustainable aquaculture and fisheries remain, the consideration of food security and minimizing environmental impacts suggest that the time has come to take action. If we can efficiently farm the land, why can't we farm more marine and inland waters?

??????????? The special issue is intended to be used by students, researchers, academicians and those who want to broaden their knowledge on the science of aquaculture and fishery. The diverse papers on aquaculture and fisheries provide discussions on a wide range of topics such as trends in food-fish production, managing of fishery aquatic environment, recent innovation on aquaculture and fishery and fisheries resource management technique. Limnologists, freshwater biologists, ecologists, fisheries managers and students in aquaculture and fisheries science will find the special issue a good reference material.

??????????? We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Editor-in-chief, Dr. R. C. Dalela for not only accepting this Special issue but also for his continuous support, guidance and coordination in bringing forth this Special issue. We are thankful to the Editorial Board, Anonymous Reviewers and Professionals of R & D Division for critically evaluating the research papers.

??????????? At last but not the least, we deeply acknowledge the contribution of the secretarial and publication team of Journal of Environmental Biology in success of this special issue.
