ecosystems of the marine aquaculture activity zone in Algeria, being mindful
that sustainable management of the aquaculture industry requires a more regional approach—based on an ecosystemic approach—focusing on the cumulative
impacts of the area affected by all industries existing in the region. In perspective, the emerging pollutants should be determined in fish feed to understand the
extent of bioaccumulation and prevent the risk of human consumption.
