Aquaculture Revolution

Aquaculture Revolution

A new comprehensive review found that fungi and their metabolites could transform multiple aspects of aquaculture sustainability. The study showed fungi can: improve feed quality by reducing anti-nutritional factors by up to 94%, enhance aquafeed buoyancy with 80% flotation rates, boost fish immunity and disease resistance, serve as natural pigments for fish coloration, and help clean wastewater through bioremediation.
