Contaminants in Aquaculture: Safeguarding Blue Foods for a Sustainable Future addresses critical challenges posed by chemical, biological, and emerging pollutants in aquaculture systems. As aquaculture becomes the fastest-growing global food production sector, contamination risks threaten seafood safety, ecosystem health, and public trust. This reference consolidates fragmented knowledge to support sustainable blue food production and safeguard public health. The book covers heavy metals, pesticides, antibiotics, microplastics, petroleum hydrocarbons, biotoxins, nanomaterials, and emerging contaminants, exploring their environmental pathways, bioaccumulation, toxicodynamics, and regulatory challenges. It integrates advanced detection technologies, risk modeling, and mitigation strategies, supported by case studies and AI-enabled monitoring tools. The book also examines global policy frameworks and the integration of blue economy principles for contaminant control. Contaminants in Aquaculture: Safeguarding Blue Foods for a Sustainable Future benefits researchers, regulators, and industry professionals by providing a unified, evidence-based foundation to assess risks, design regulatory standards, and implement sustainable aquaculture practices. By bridging science, policy, and practice, this reference enhances seafood safety, ecosystem resilience, and global blue food sustainability for current and future generations.
