The answer may lie in aquaculture, which has replaced wild fishing in terms of production. Aquaculture is now considered a vital pillar of global food security, but its rapid expansion also brings significant environmental challenges. Water pollution, habitat degradation, and overexploitation of natural resources remain critical issues for the sector. To reduce the environmental impact of the aquaculture sector, producers are increasingly turning to more advanced farming systems, better waste management practices, and technological innovations such as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). These developments help minimize environmental footprint while enabling more efficient use of resources. In addition to these challenges, the health and welfare of farmed fish are also critical issues for the industry. Factors such as water quality, stock density, and disease outbreaks can significantly impact fish health. Strict biosecurity measures and vaccination programs are among the effective ways to overcome these challenges. In addition, feed formulations that support immunity and stress resistance, alternative feed ingredients and functional feed additives, i.e., feeding options, are among the key areas that need to be carefully addressed for sustainable aquaculture. An unbalanced or poorly managed diet can lead to reduced growth, increased mortality rates, and heightened disease susceptibility. On the other hand, properly formulated feeds improve nutrient absorption, enhance growth performance, and support fish resistance to environmental stress factors. Today, sustainable aquaculture is no longer an option but a necessity. By focusing on responsible farming practices, improving fish health and welfare, and investing in innovative feed solutions, the sector can meet the growing demand for seafood without damaging the planet's resources. In this issue of Feed & Additive Magazine, we explore innovations that could shape a more sustainable future for this important sector.
