Negative impacts of the aquaculture industry include excessive nutrient loading (Islam <span>2005</span>) and subsequent eutrophication, disease introduction (Kennedy et al. <span>2016</span>), heavy metals pollution (Emenike et al. <span>2022</span>), and the assimilation of escapee fish into wild populations (Toledo-Guedes et al. <span>2014</span>). Despite ecological concerns, the aquaculture industry has continued to grow in recent decades (Naylor et al. <span>2021</span>, FAO <span>2022</span>), driven by increasing market demands and rapidly declining wild fisheries. The continued pursuit of a sustainable future for aquaculture is critical not only to meet global food demands, but also to support local economies and communities. Though by no means a silver bullet for solving systematic inequities, aquaculture can play a critical role in improving public health and well-being by increasing access to nutrition (Gephart et al. <span>2021</span>), providing employment opportunities, especially for women (Gopal et al. <span>2020</span>), and contributing to sustainable development overall (Subasinghe et al. <span>2009</span>).
