Abstract

This paper explains all the chances of environmental biotechnology techniques useful in aquaculture and reviews its various areas together. Biotechnology has played a vital role in boosting production in the aquaculture sector. Considering the number of issues which deteriorate the ecological conditions in an aquaculture system, the field of environmental biotechnology has shown new possibilities to enhance the terms. Since the environment turns to be a vital segment in the survival of aquatic flora and fauna its day by day deterioration via pollution and toxic substances are need to be checked. The distinct role of environmental biotechnology within the sector of aquaculture emphasized finding the opportunities to contribute with new solutions and directions in remediating the contaminated environments, minimizing future waste release and creating pollution prevention alternatives.

Highlights

Environment biotechnology is still an unexplored sector, with many new interventions to come in future.

Water is environment for aquactic living beings, new approach to rectify its deterioration for better survival is the need of hour.

Sustainable development of aquaculture field can be achieved with eco-friendly aquaculture practices.

Combining aquaculture and biotechnology can help is overall sustainable growth.
