So, what is aquaculture?
Aquaculture is farming and harvesting fish, shellfish and aquatic plants for food or materials – it plays a crucial role in ensuring our future food security. But doing this as sustainably as possible, to meet the goals of the One Health agenda, requires us to think beyond just farmed fish systems.

What role does conservation play in food production?
At the University of Plymouth, our transdisciplinary, systems-thinking approach embraces a broad perspective on aquaculture and fisheries management, incorporating the extent to which marine conservation, fish habitats, biodiversity and natural capital all help contribute towards responsible marine and freshwater food production, and, in doing so, how they support coastal economies and contribute to the national food security agenda.
