        abstract = {Sustainable aquaculture has emerged as a vital strategy for enhancing fish productivity and ensuring food security in India. This paper examines eco-friendly aquaculture practices, including biofloc technology, integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, recirculating aquaculture systems, and improved feed management, that optimize production while minimizing environmental impacts. Emphasis is placed on efficient water use, disease control, genetic improvement, and reduced dependence on antibiotics and chemical inputs. The study also highlights policy support, farmer training, and technological interventions as key drivers of sustainable growth. Adoption of these practices can significantly improve yield, profitability, and environmental sustainability in India’s rapidly expanding aquaculture sector.},
