Fisheries
Whether marine protected areas increase biodiversity depends on the presence of highly sensitive species and on management priorities.

A science-based approach to shark conservation in Brazil’s Marine Protected Areas may curb "destructive proposals" including shark culling.
Responsibility
The organizations team up to restore seagrass meadows with $2.5 million in funding, addressing both climate change and biodiversity loss.
Responsibility
New measures aim to improve the fisheries and aquaculture sector, but some question their value in achieving COP15 biodiversity goals.
Responsibility
Study argues for the protection of 30 percent of the world’s oceans by 2030 to conserve biodiversity, avoid extinctions and maintain food security.
Innovation & Investment
A new bioinformatics tool can precisely identify tilapia species and pinpoint hybridization between invasive and native tilapia species.
Responsibility
A report from The Nature Conservancy shows restorative or regenerative aquaculture can benefit ecosystems, marine animal habitats and biodiversity.
Aquafeeds
Reduced-frequency feeding strategies improve the production efficiency of Nile tilapia operations and do not affect growth or survival rates.
Responsibility
Aquaculture certification programs reduce the environmental impacts of aquaculture and avoid negative impacts on biodiversity, but no single indicator of biodiversity can be used as a standard in aquaculture certification.
Innovation & Investment
To assess the role of genetic engineering in agriculture, we should first state what we want from our agricultural systems. Agriculture, and by extension the future of aquaculture, lacks a succinct direction.
Health & Welfare
A National Broodstock Improvement Network for aquaculture could help to break the link between inbreeding and hatchery size.
