“…For successful heavy metal removal, which is related to high absorption propensity and costeffectiveness, ligand-based nanocoating can be used as it can be regenerated by treating the bifunctional self-assembling ligand in situ with the previously used nanocoating media. In this method, crystal clear technology is used for water purification; several metal layers are bonded to one substrate (Farmen 2009). Today, because of their high reactivity and large surface area, nanomaterials have been commonly used for heavy metal removal from water/wastewater.…”

In recent decades, aquaculture has played a significant role in fulfilling the vast demand for animal protein requirements and consequently in food security. However, environmental contamination and disease prevalence are considered essential challenges for the sector. In this regard, new approaches have been paved in technology to deal effectively with such challenges. Among these, nanotechnology-as a novel and innovative tool-has a broad spectrum of uses and a tremendous potential in aquaculture and seafood preservation. It can provide new technologies for management of drugs as liberation of vaccines and therefore hold the assurance for civilized protection of farmed fish against disease-causing pathogens. This article presents a review of nanotechnology and its applications in aquaculture. Additionally, it gives a brief idea about the fish disease and classical ways of controlling pathogens. On the other hand, this review sheds the light on nanotechnology as a potential novel tool which may possibly enhance the management and the control of disease prevalence. Therefore, the importance of this technology to promote sustainable aquaculture has also been highlighted. Focusing on the role of selenium nanoparticles as an efficient element is discussed also in this article.
