On the other hand, aquaculture relies heavily on clean water, an increasingly precious (and dwindling) resource that is subject to intense pressure of being used for many competing purposes. Basic concepts, opportunities, and challenges of aquaculture are outlined with an emphasis on ecological considerations. The many values and promises of aquaculture are contrasted with their pitfalls, drawbacks, and challenges to develop a broad understanding of the general state of aquaculture and equip students with the knowledge they need to contribute to future advances in the field. A critical assessment of current aquaculture practices is provided from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective that emphasizes how best to align the two major (and often conflicting) goals of future aquaculture development: minimizing reliance on ecosystem services whilst maximizing productivity. Opportunities for achieving these goals are illustrated by discussing specific examples of aquaculture species and practices that illustrate key concepts"--
