Abstract

Sustaining clean and healthy waters for aquaculture and fisheries to meet the growing demand for aquatic foods is a great challenge of the 21rst century. Presently, approximately 820 million people (one in nine people in the world) are malnourished and the human population is projected to rise from 7.6 to 11.2 billion by 2100. Aquaculture and fisheries have emerged as a sustainable protein source to improve future food security providing more than half of the world's seafood. This additional production will come from the expansion of aquaculture, both into marine and freshwater environments. However, this expansion is under threat by harmful algae blooms, which are increasing in frequency, severity, and toxicity worldwide.
