Inland water aquaculture: The role of good management practices and the use of ecotechnologies for the sustainability of the activity

Abstract

It is known that the health of fish and other aquatic organisms depend on good quality water in adequate quantity, its maintenance is a constant concern in aquaculture, as they directly affect productive performance, such as survival, growth, reproduction and susceptibility to diseases, a fact that compromises economic success. The concept of "Sustainable Aquaculture" or "Responsible Aquaculture" is increasingly discussed, which designates the desirable way of producing fish in the aquatic environment, with environmental, economic, social and political rationality. In this sense, this chapter addresses the legal aspects of aquaculture, the main impacts caused by the activity, the adoption of good management practices and the use of ecotechnologies aiming at the sustainability of the activity.
