Marine invertebrates provide a rich source of metabolites with anticancer activities and several marine-derived agents have been approved for the treatment of cancer. However, the limited supply of promising anticancer metabolites from their natural sources is a major hurdle to their preclinical and clinical development. Thus, the lack of a sustainable large-scale supply has been an important c...

The estimation of the carrying capacity (CC) is a fundamental process in integrated environmental management, policy making, and decision making. Aquaculture has been studied since 1960s to allow production limits aquaculture projects and, hence, their maximum economic performance within sustainable for local environment. One major drawback these approaches that they can provide CC estimates af...

Fish consumption is on the increase due to in growth of global population. Therefore, taking advantage new methods such as marine aquaculture can be a reliable source for production fish world. It necessary allocate suitable sites from environmental, economic, and social points view decision-making process. In this study, order specify areas by Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) methodology Caspi...

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food production sectors and has great potential for security livelihoods. However, it generates concerning consequences environment, including chemical biological pollution, disease outbreaks, unsustainable feeds competition coastal space. Recent investigations are focusing on sustainable techniques (e.g., polyculture, offshore facilities) to improve re...

Algal toxins are organic molecules produced by a variety of algae in marine, brackish and fresh waters, as well as on wet soils (Falconer, 1993). They are a problem in aquaculture when they are produced in sufficient quantities, with sufficient potency, to kill cultured organisms, decrease feeding and growth rates, cause food safety issues, or adversely affect the quality of the product (Shumwa...
