Ever notice small scale #aquaculture (SSA) doesn't seem to get much attention? Us too. We ran a semi-quant synthesis of the the literature and found it is poorly defined, missing from the US & Europe, & underrepresented in marine systems (e.g., oysters) dx.doi.org/10.1111/raq....

No Free Lunch: Sustainable Aquaculture Requires Recognizing Past Science, Improvements, and Comparative Assessment Aquaculture has become an established and important part of the global food system. Several critiques of aquaculture continue to resurface, seemingly ignoring past research and improvements of (1) aq....

A recent Science Advances special issue focused on #aquaculture, but seemed to have missed the mark in a multitude of ways. My incredible colleagues and I wrote this sweeping Open Access opinion article (with 80 citations!) in response. Hope it's useful! 🐟 🦐 🎣 doi.org/10.1111/raq....
