Biotechnology has significantly enhanced aquaculture by improving fish breeding and genetics, leading to faster growth rates, disease resistance, and better feed efficiency. Genetic modifications and selective breeding programs have resulted in species that are more resilient to environmental changes and have higher yields. Additionally, biotechnological advancements, such as the development of probiotics and vaccines, have improved fish health and reduced reliance on antibiotics. Overall, these innovations contribute to more sustainable and efficient aquaculture practices.
There are many pros and cons of agricultural biotechnology. One disadvantage is that it eliminates a lot of farming jobs.
Sustainable. Marine aquaculture focuses on the responsible farming of marine organisms, such as fish and shellfish, to provide food while minimizing environmental impact and promoting ecosystem health.

Direct impact on students of biotechnology 'they tend to see deep till cell level and have much more understanding about living being as an organism.' Indirect impact on people who even don't know what it is 'People take in biotechnological products in the form of drug and food in daily life!"
Biotechnology has led to advancements in medicine, agriculture, and environmental protection. It has allowed for the development of new treatments and cures for diseases, improved crop yields and nutritional content, and enabled the production of biofuels and biodegradable materials, reducing environmental impact.
Aquaculture International was created in 1993.
Society must carefully consider the use of biotechnology due to ethical, environmental, and social implications. There are concerns about the potential manipulation of living organisms, impact on biodiversity, and inequitable distribution of benefits. It is important to address these issues through thoughtful regulation and public dialogue to ensure responsible and sustainable use of biotechnology.

Advancement in biotechnology has enabled us to get better consumer products as reasonable price. Some incurable human diseases like diabetes, sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis etc are now best treated using biotechnology. Biotechnology is high- tech low- risk technology hence its impact on the society is tremendous.
Disadvantages of traditional biotechnology include limited scale of production, longer timelines for developing products, potential for genetic contamination of native species, and concerns over the impact on biodiversity and the environment.
Biotechnology has revolutionized medicine by enabling new treatments and diagnostics, such as personalized medicine and gene therapy. It has also had a significant impact on agriculture by improving crop yields and developing genetically modified organisms. Additionally, biotechnology has advanced environmental sustainability through biofuels and bioremediation technologies.
