Recent innovative and technological developments in aquaculture

In recent years world aquaculture production has been increased with innovative and technological developments within fisheries sector and scaled up in world total fisheries production. This increasing aquaculture production quantity depends on production of new species in aquaculture, new raw material production and processing techniques in fish feed manufacturing, innovative production systems and technologies, biotechnological developments. Aim of this paper is to review innovations and technological developments in aquaculture engineering in recent years. These technological and innovative developments are production of egg and fry from eel (Anguilla sp.) and bluefin tuna (Thunnus sp.) at experimental conditions, production of new marine and freshwater species like meagre (Argyrosomus regius), wreckfish (Polyprion americanus), pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) etc., new raw material, additives, enzymes in fish feed, improved digestibility, biological and technological developments in recirculating aquaculture systems as part of filtration especially nitrogen and phosphorus removal, technological innovations in cage aquaculture, new genetic selection and breeding techniques.
