“…The offshore aquaculture is vulnerable to MPs due to the developing mariculture activities and the availability and accumulation of MPs, which has become a threat to the survival of maricultured animal species (Chen et al 2018;Yu et al 2020). The sources of water-used in inland aquaculture are very extensive, including and depending on groundwater, rivers and lake water, spring water, coastal and sea water, rainwater, and the discharged but the treated water of daily life, urban, agriculture and industry (Lebel et al 2019). Not surprisingly, almost all these water sources contain MPs, some are even extremely large MPs.…”

According to the statistics, 8.3 billion metric tonnes of plastics have been produced since 1950s, which is far more than other synthetic materials and the annual production which are about 500 million tonnes per year at present. The production of plastics makes microplastics pollution extremely widespread distribution, which will have a lasting impact on the global environment, especially on the aquaculture systems. And the distribution of the microplastics is extremely imbalanced around the global waters. In the present review, we have summarized the development of aquaculture in the World and China based on the existing data sources. And the total aquaculture production of the World will over 90 million tonnes, which will exceed the capture production in 2020. Aquaculture products will become one of the most important sources of high-quality protein. However, we found that many kinds of microplastics are detected and enriched in both farmed and captured species. Both endogenous and exogenous factors like the use of fishing plastic products, factory farming facility and equipment, natural and synthetic feed, animal health products, aquaculture fortifier and aquatic food additives make accumulation of microplastics easier. In addition, the safety of aquaculture products is closely related to human health because the residues of microplastics in fish leading to various potential hazards. In summary, this paper reviewed the relationship between microplastics and aquaculture, aimed at calling for the rational and restricted use of plastic products in the aquaculture ecosystems.

“…Although there have been calls for zoning laws and other policy measures to avoid direct tradeoffs between the land footprint of agriculture and the water footprint of ponds for aquaculture, tension between the two systems persists, especially in rapidly developing areas [28,71,80]. Nevertheless, either/or tensions mask more nuanced interactions that are conditioned by proximity and the partial overlap of agriculture and aquaculture.…”

Although agriculture and aquaculture depend on access to increasingly scarce, shared water resources to produce food for human consumption, they are most often considered in isolation. We argue that they should be treated as integrated components of a single complex system that is prone to direct or indirect tradeoffs that should be avoided while also being amenable to synergies that should be sought. Direct tradeoffs such as competition for space or the pollution of shared water resources usually occur when the footprints of agriculture and aquaculture overlap or when the two practices coexist in close proximity to one another. Interactions can be modulated by factors such as hydropower infrastructure and short-term economic incentives, both of which are known to disrupt the balance between aquaculture and agriculture. Indirect tradeoffs, on the other hand, play out across distances, i.e., when agricultural food sources are diverted to feed animals in aquaculture. Synergies are associated with the culture of aquatic organisms in rice paddies and irrigation waters, seasonal rotations of crop cultivation with aquaculture, and various forms of integrated agriculture–aquaculture (IAA), including jitang, a highly developed variant of pond-dike IAA. Policy decisions, socioeconomic considerations, and technology warrant increased scrutiny as determinants of tradeoffs and synergies. Priority issues for the future include guiding the expansion of aquaculture from its traditional base in Asia, taking advantage of the heterogeneity that exists within both agricultural and aquaculture systems, the development of additional metrics of tradeoffs and synergies, and adapting to the effects of climate change.

“…Other studies have focused on two parts. On one hand, water consumption research is concentrated in some special industries, such as water consumption in aquaculture (Lebel et al, 2019), rice planting (Silalertruksa et al, 2017), and power generation (Chang et al, 2015). On the other hand, water consumption research focuses on water consumption and other related fields, such as virtual water (Zhang et al, 2019), water use efficiency (Freire-González, 2019), sewage treatment (Risch et al, 2014), water footprints (Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2006;Boulay et al, 2018), spatial imbalance (Cole et al, 2018), and other studies.…”

How to formulate scientific and effective water-saving policies is of great significance for the sustainable water consumption. As a country with the largest water consumption in the world, China has been committed to formulating scientific and effective water-saving policies. However, due to geospatial variations of water consumption in different regions, how to formulate targeted and efficient water-saving policies which suit for different local characteristics has always been a key issue to be solved. In a quest to understand the water consumption patterns, this study first adopted a dual evaluation index system combining Gini coefficient and Global Moran’s Index to classify different types of water consumption. Taking 110 cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt as research objects, the water consumption of 110 cities was divided into nine types. According to each type, a targeted water-saving policy is given. This study provides important theoretical support for the efficient management of water resources in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and provides reference for water resources management in other regions at the same time.
