In the face of growing global challenges in food security and increasing demand for sustainable protein sources, the aquaculture industry is undergoing a transformative shift through the integration of nanotechnology. This review paper explores the profound role of nanotechnology in aquaculture, addressing critical issues such as efficient feed utilization, disease management, and environmental sustainability. Nanomaterials are used to enhance nutritional content and digestibility of aquafeed, optimize fish growth and health, and improve disease prevention. Nanoparticle-based vaccines and drug delivery systems reduce antibiotic reliance, while nano sensors monitor water quality in real-time. Furthermore, nanotechnology has revolutionized infrastructure design, contributing to smart, self-regulating aquaculture systems. Despite its vast potential, challenges such as ethical considerations and long-term safety must be addressed. This paper highlights nanotechnology's transformative role in aquaculture, underscoring its potential to contribute significantly to global food security through enhanced productivity and sustainability.
面对全球粮食安全方面日益严峻的挑战以及对可持续蛋白质来源的需求不断增加，水产养殖业正通过纳米技术的整合经历变革性转变。这篇综述文章探讨了纳米技术在水产养殖中的重要作用，涉及高效饲料利用、疾病管理和环境可持续性等关键问题。纳米材料用于提高水产饲料的营养成分和消化率，优化鱼类生长和健康状况，并改善疾病预防。基于纳米颗粒的疫苗和药物递送系统减少了对抗生素的依赖，而纳米传感器则实时监测水质。此外，纳米技术彻底改变了基础设施设计，推动了智能、自我调节的水产养殖系统的发展。尽管具有巨大潜力，但伦理考量和长期安全性等挑战仍需应对。本文强调了纳米技术在水产养殖中的变革性作用，突显了其通过提高生产力和可持续性对全球粮食安全做出重大贡献的潜力。
