Abstract
Biotechnology is making essential contributions and poses significant
challenges to aquaculture and fisheries' new product development via enhancing taste,
shell life, nutrition, and quality and reducing waste. Aquatic products biotechnology
might be regarded as reliable for enhancing and expanding the production and
processing of sustainable food products created for the future of the expanding global
population. Aquatic product biotechnology consists of (1) new technological
applications in aquatic farming to improve productivity and feed utilization, (2)
commercial packaging technology for preservation, and (3) effective use of byproducts or wastes and the process of product innovation. Some insights into the
biotechnological development of aquatics production in Vietnam are reviewed in this
chapter.
