Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquaculture must be committed to the sustainability of the productive process and animal welfare. These goals will require the design of feeding strategies that maximize food utilization, reducing food waste. It is a sector of great importance in the food sustainability of the population because the consumption of fish has increased over the years, but the lack of knowledge of some essential factors causes high economic losses. Its main problems are the loss of specimens as a result of feeding problems, stress, and diseases. The aim of this journal is to increase knowledge about animal welfare as well as to increase the sustainability of aquaculture.
