Abstract
The growing global demand for fish necessitates the exploration of sustainable aquaculture practices. This has led to a focus on the quality and sustainable production of fish products with minimal environmental impact. Thus, the objective of this review is to study and evaluate how different aquaculture systems impact the quality and nutritional profile of fish. Fish are rich sources of protein, containing almost 20% protein and essential amino acids and vitamins. The nutritional value and quality of fish products are directly related to the conditions under which they are produced through aquaculture. This article considers various aquaculture systems, including closed-loop systems, pond farming, marine aquaculture, and aquaponic systems. The operating principles, advantages, and inherent limitations of each fish-rearing system are subjected to rigorous critical analysis in this review. Such practices are necessary to meet the growing demand for fish and to maintain the integrity of aquatic ecosystems for future generations.
