“…Mariculture has a high potential for sustainable food production and economic growth, and the future of seafood production will most likely develop around mariculture production with an emphasis on the conservation of natural resources (water, biodiversity, climate, etc.) [117]. The integration of mariculture with other sectors such as renewable energy, coastal tourism, and ecosystem restoration offers intriguing opportunities.…”

The growth in population and the higher need for aquatic products make the aquaculture industry the world’s fastest-growing food industry. With its rapid development, production is facing various challenges to achieve sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Some obstacles in production are related to the design of mariculture cages, automatization, location of the farm, biofouling, feeding, waste management, and others. This paper deals with the extended bibliometric analysis of technical problems in mariculture based on keywords, citations, journals, and other factors by means of scientometric software, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer. Important keywords related to aquaculture and mariculture were obtained from the Web of Science platform and further analyzed by means of the mentioned scientometric software offering knowledge domain visualization and construction of knowledge maps. Apart from the identification of research topics of the highest importance, research hotspots are characterized as follows: technical, biological, digital, and environmental. The most cited articles are related to the environmental problems and solutions in marine aquaculture and the study of biofouling and how to control it. Other important documents with high citation rates are related to the cages, offshore mariculture, location conditions, and sustainability. This study recognizes trends by combining aquaculture production with floating structures for energy extraction of sea resources; thus, making aquaculture more interdisciplinary than before.

“…Additionally, in the specific case of RAS, a main disadvantage is that the recirculation increases the animals’ exposure to antibiotics. However, they are advantageous over conventional aquaculture systems, since RAS are closed systems that enable up to 90–99% of the water to be recycled, vastly reducing water consumption—100 times lower than in traditional flow through systems [ 10 ]—and improve waste management, reducing potential negative impacts on the environment and ecosystems [ 1 ]. In fact, sanitary barriers and measures used in terrestrial food animal production are more challenging to create in aquaculture [ 11 ].…”

Aquacultures are a sector facing a huge development: farmers usually applying antibiotics to treat and/or prevent diseases. Consequently, effluents from aquaculture represent a source of antibiotics for receiving waters, where they pose a potential threat due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) induction. This has recently become a major concern and it is expectable that regulations on antibiotics’ discharge will be established in the near future. Therefore, it is urgent to develop treatments for their removal from wastewater. Among the different possibilities, photodegradation under solar radiation may be a sustainable option. Thus, this review aims at providing a survey on photolysis and photocatalysis in view of their application for the degradation of antibiotics from aquaculture wastewater. Experimental facts, factors affecting antibiotics’ removal and employed photocatalysts were hereby addressed. Moreover, gaps in this research area, as well as future challenges, were identified.

“…For many years, the mariculture model with mariculture as the main body has made great contributions to the growth of the marine economy and the development of related industries in China. Under the trend of increasingly scarce fishing resources, mariculture plays an indispensable role in ensuring national food security and improving the national dietary structure [1,2]. However, while China's mariculture has made remarkable achievements, there are also a series of environmental and resource problems, such as the irrational utilization of mariculture resources [3][4][5], reduction in mariculture area [6][7][8], and increasing carbon emissions and nitrogen and phosphorus pollutant emissions from mariculture [9].…”

Under the double pressures of economic growth and ecological environment protection, sea green transformation and the sustainable development of mariculture are critical. This paper constructs an evolutionary game model with the government as the main body and mariculture farmers (enterprises) as the main body and puts forward the research hypothesis. Based on 2006–2019 longitudinal data of nine provinces along China’s coast, using multi-period Difference-in-Difference (DID) and dual robust estimation, we empirically investigate the national oceanic ranch demonstration zones for the influence of the green sea aquaculture and their mechanism of action. The results showed that (1) the efficiency of green level of mariculture industry in China is not high, and the establishment of national marine pasture demonstration zone has not effectively promoted the improvement of green level of mariculture industry; (2) the institutional environment, unreasonable industrial structure, and lack of scientific and technological innovation have an effect on the national oceanic ranch demonstration area as the main causes of failure to effectively promote marine green farming; (3) the establishment of the national multi-period demonstration area in the north significantly hindered the growth of the green level of mariculture and fell into the “policy trap”, while the establishment of the national multi-period demonstration area in the south significantly promoted the growth of the green level of mariculture. The conclusions of this paper provide an empirical basis and reference for the improvement of the national marine pasture demonstration zone policy and the green transformation of mariculture to a certain extent.
