Abstract : Recent advances in biotechnology have significantly impacted aquaculture production, revolutionizing the industry. which explores key developments in applying biotechnological tools to enhance various aspects of aquaculture. Molecular techniques, such as genetic manipulation, have enabled the selective breeding of fish for desirable traits, improving growth rates, disease resistance, and overall productivity. Furthermore, the application of advanced genomics and bioinformatics has facilitated the identification of specific genes associated with important traits, paving the way for precision breeding. Biotechnological interventions also extend to disease management in aquaculture. Novel diagnostic methods based on molecular biology enable early detection of pathogens, contributing to effective disease prevention and control. Vaccines developed through biotechnological approaches have shown promise in protecting aquatic species against various infections, reducing reliance on traditional antibiotics. Nutrition is another critical aspect benefiting from biotechnological advancements. Genetically engineered feed formulations, enriched with essential nutrients, enhance the overall health and growth of aquaculture species. Furthermore, by enhancing feed conversion efficiency and waste management, probiotics and prebiotics obtained from biotechnological processes aid in the development of sustainable and ecologically friendly practices. Aquaculture and biotechnology are integrated in environmental conservation and monitoring projects. Aquatic organisms are guaranteed ideal conditions through real-time water quality monitoring made possible by biosensors and molecular tools. Utilizing genetically engineered organisms, bioremediation techniques help to lessen the negative environmental effects of aquaculture operations. In conclusion, recent advances in biotechnology have propelled aquaculture towards a more sustainable, efficient, and environmentally conscious industry. The integration of molecular techniques, genetic manipulation, diagnostics, and environmental monitoring has opened new avenues for addressing challenges and optimizing production in aquaculture. The continued exploration and application of biotechnological tools hold great promise for the future of this crucial food production sector.
