Abstract

Abstract: The inclusion of nanotechnologies in aquaculture and seafood preservation confronts a new edge that deserves attention in the recent trends of global food sector. Nanotechnology, being a novel and innovative approach has paved way to open up new perspective for the analysis of biomolecules, targeted drug delivery, protein or cells, clinical diagnosis, development of non-viral vectors for gene therapy, as transport vehicle for DNA, disease therapeutics etc. The current and potential use of nanotechnology would show the way to progression of smart and high performing fish. The comparative evaluation of extremely sophisticated nanotechnology with conventional process engineering proposes new prospectus in technological developments for superior water and wastewater technology processes. Nanoparticles have comprehensive advantages for management of drugs as liberation of vaccines and therefore hold the assurance for civilized protection of farmed fish against disease-causing pathogens. This review article explores the present concerns of food security, climate change as well as sustainability that are explored by the researchers in the area of nanotechnology, development of marine produce, along with its preservation and aquaculture.
