In the next generation of nanotechnology could be used in all aspects of science. The fisheries and aquaculture is on the path of a “Blue Revolution” using nanotechnology with new tools for rapid disease detection and enhancing the ability of fish to rapidly absorb drugs such as hormones, vaccines and nutrients. This book entitled “Nanotechnology in Aquaculture” consists of 23 chapters. In order to protect farmed fish from a many problems, the chapters are mainly focused on the environmental factors, newer technological aspects, and reviews on aquaculture. The authors have put an effort to explain each and every point in the procedures. This book has been brought to the society, keeping in mind students of graduate and post graduate, research scholars and teaching faculty.
