WWW.WAS.ORG • WORLD AQUACULTURE • JUNE 2023 15 The Journal of the World Aquaculture Society is excited to highlight a series of thematic technical reviews that were developed with the leading author in each field following the Global Conference on Aquaculture Millennium+20 (GCA+20), which was held from September 22–25, 2021 in Shanghai, the People’s Republic of China. Recognizing that aquaculture is critically important to sustainable development and global food systems, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) selected technical themes that these eight reviews present in this special issue. FAO Technical Reviews Special Issue of the Journal of the World Aquaculture Society These themes and reviews support FAO’s Blue Transformation Roadmap of providing adequate aquatic food for a growing world population. The reviews focus on multiple key issues that are essential for aquaculture and its future progress. Details are provided on current and future trends, challenges, and opportunities and these reviews lay the foundation for the support of a vision for sustainable aquaculture as outlined in the Shanghai Declaration on Aquaculture for Food and Sustainable Development.
