The global production of aquatic resources is increasing at the rate of 3.3 million tons per year, main thanks to aquaculture. However, this industry is considered by financial institutions as high risk due to failures caused by epizootics, natural disasters and poor planning and monitoring. Bioeconomic modelling is a progressive branch of social science that seeks to integrate the disciplines of economics and biology to create theories that better explain economic events using a biological basis and vice versa. This should be used in aquaculture to plan, monitor, and determine cost‐effectiveness and risk, to reduce uncertainty and increase profits of ongoing or new projects. A meta‐analysis of the literature on bioeconomic modelling in aquaculture during 26 years (1994─2020) was performed, using four search engines. Sixty‐eight articles were published in 23 journals, on 25 groups of species or species. The most studied were shrimp, tilapia, seabream, salmon and carp. From these, 12 articles dealt with tilapia models that shared similar biological, management and economic sub‐models. In the 26‐year analysis, the global scientific productivity in this field is low (2.6 articles/year) in relation to the growth of world aquaculture. Bioeconomic modelling peaked during the decade from 2004 to 2014 with 5.6 papers/year, but then declined to only 0.83 articles/year from 2015 to 2020. This is possibly due to the low diffusion among producers, planners and financial institutions of the advantages of the models and the difficulty to use them if friendly and readily available software is lacking.

“…The annual discount rate was set to 0.03, which is the interest rate offered by government‐supported financing systems for fisheries and aquaculture in the area. Campo and Zuniga‐Jara (2018) reported a discount rate of 8.07% annually for shellfish culture in developed countries. The farmers in the study area rarely raise funds from banks or the capital market.…”

Rational management is required for the profitability of the Japanese aquaculture industry and to promote investment in the industry. Although bioeconomic modeling could facilitate rational aquaculture management, it has not been applied in Japanese marine aquaculture. In the present study, we developed a bioeconomic model for oyster farming in Miyagi prefecture, Japan, and determined the optimal harvest schedules under labor constraints. Low, moderate, and high temperature scenarios were simulated to investigate the effects of changes in seawater temperature on farm productivity. Early initiation of harvest, particularly from late October or early November, achieved the maximum profit under the environmental and economic conditions in the present study. The moderate temperature scenario (current temperature conditions) had a high total profit (962,890 JPY) when harvest was initiated on October 29. The high temperature scenario had lower profits than the profits under current conditions, indicating that climate change could have adverse effects on oyster farming profitability in Miyagi prefecture.

“…The latter problems are obviously minimized by aquaculture techniques, to which however is added the additional cost of feeding fish. Currently, although the cost of farmed fish is much lower than that of wild fish, it has been calculated that more than 50% of the total cost of farmed fish is influenced by feed ingredients [29]. In this scenario, the use of food waste for fish farming would be a sustainable strategy not only to avoid the cost of organic waste disposal, but also a way to decrease the cost of feeding fish in aquaculture, and thus the final price to the consumer.…”

The agri-food industry generates a large amount of waste every year, which is both an environmental and economic problem, especially for the countries in charge of its disposal. Over the years, there has been a growing interest especially in plant waste, since they are rich in compounds with high nutritional and nutraceutical value. As a result, several scientific disciplines are investigating their alternative use in the formulation of dietary supplements for human or animal use, or as biostimulants for agricultural purposes. In this review, using a meta-analytical approach, we summarize the main and most recent findings related to the use of plant waste as potential ingredients in dietary supplementation for fish grown under controlled experimental conditions. In particular, in this review, it has been highlighted that plant waste may have not only positive effects on growth performance, but also beneficial effects on modulation of the innate immune system and antioxidant defenses. Finally, the bibliometric study and a mapping provide an overview of the recent publications, showing the research strength across the country, the number of potential collaborations among institutions, and the main research focus, demonstrating how this topic is growing in interest, especially in Europe.
