ABSTRACT
Origins of enduring traditional coastal aquaculture are described and factors contributing to resilience are identified. Success with rehabilitating traditional coastal systems is reviewed. Aspects of social–ecological resilience demonstrated by diversified shrimp–rice agroecosystems are discussed. Better management practices (BMPs) to enhance shrimp production in post-tsunami reconstruction in Indonesia are presented. Progress with integrated mangrove aquaculture and alternative strategies to promote efficient operation are evaluated. The critical importance of a One Health framework approach is emphasised. Advances in animal welfare are highlighted, notably avoiding shrimp eyestalk ablation, whilst producing robust offspring. Prospects for enhanced biosecurity (e.g. vaccinations, specific pathogen–free juveniles, BMPs, biorefinery strategies to manage fallen stock, closed and semi-closed containment systems) are considered, and implications for greater social licence to operate are discussed. Innovations to enhance efficiency and benefit the bioeconomy (e.g. automation, sensors, data utilisation, nutrition-sensitive aquatic food systems, complete product utilisation, nutrient and waste recovery and valorisation) are presented. Progress in refining horizontally integrated, land-based marine aquaculture is examined. Prospects for open-water integration of salmon, shellfish and seaweed are reviewed. Benefits of small-scale development are considered. The potential of artificial reefs is evaluated. Progress with stock enhancement, culture-based fisheries and ranching and critical issues demanding responsible management practices are discussed.
