Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Shrimp are the most productive and highly traded aquaculture species around the world, and they are widely cultured in many countries and coastal regions. Although facing many challenges, such as fish meal shortages, environmental degradation, and disease outbreaks, shrimp aquaculture has still undergone significant developments with progress in science and technology over the past few decades. Recently, the rapid growth of shrimp aquaculture requires the development of responsible and sustainable models, management, and practices. An increasing number of innovative techniques and approaches are emerging to support the healthy and intensive development of shrimp aquaculture.
In this Special Issue, I am pleased to invite you to publish research or review articles that address advances in shrimp aquaculture. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: genetic improvement and seeding breeding, aquacultural facilities and engineering equipment, water quality control and environmental microorganisms, feed nutrition and feeding management, disease diagnosis and biological prevention, and wastewater treatment and ecological remediation.
I look forward to receiving your contributions and sharing your recent findings through this Special Issue.
Dr. Wujie Xu
Guest Editor
