The expansion of aquaculture has been a response to increasing global seafood demand, yet recent findings suggest a pivot towards species that are less beneficial.
This shift raises significant concerns regarding the implications for food security, climate mitigation efforts, and overall biodiversity within marine ecosystems.
The study, published by researchers at the University of Oregon, underscores the need for reevaluation of species selection in aquaculture practices to ensure sustainable outcomes.
