An editor's note on Litopenaeus Vannamei Feeding Activity and Development on Soybean Based Diets with Added Feeding Effectors.
Fish is an important human food source that provides essential nutrients while also contributing to global food security. Approximately 90% of global aquaculture production is concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region, with China, India, and Indonesia as the top producers. With the production of high- value fish destined for export, fish farming in developing countries provides domestic food security and supports rural livelihoods. More than 3 billion people rely on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods, according to the United Nations. Acidic ocean environments impede fish growth by limiting their ability to calcify bones, as well as increasing the metabolic cost of life and thus the amount of gases that must be carried across the gills. Regrettably, we know very little about the effects of warm acidic conditions on important fish species. Regrettably, we know very little about the effects of warm acidic conditions on important fish species. As a result, research into the combined effects of ocean warming and acidification on marine fish growth is needed, as well as estimates of the ecological and economic costs to wild fish populations (fisheries) and marine fish farming.
