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
