Insight into aquaculture's potential of marine annelid worms and ecological concerns: a review
Polychaetes are marine annelid worms that can contribute to aquaculture diversification. Its culture has been viable, and commercially attempted, but intensive
production has progressed only in few countries around the world. In the countries with no production, marine polychaetes are imported or harvested. A strong
and sustained research investment provided to a better understanding of the
nutritional requirements and reproduction of some species. Recent studies
showed new technical improvements, which can lead to an important progress in
productivity and give a new impetus to the polychaete production. Some marine
worm species were identified as good candidates for integrated multitrophic
aquaculture. The development of cost-effective aquaculture techniques for marine
annelid worms is essential to ensure a balance between commercial interests and
the preservation of ecosystems. The influence of polychaete aquaculture on the
environment and vice versa raise important concerns related to ecological security
and sustainability of this activity. This review focus on the main technical
improvements and advances that have been made in areas as diverse as: aquaculture potential of polychaetes, reared species, main species used worldwide, and
highlights biological and ecological concerns, important challenges and recommendations.This study was supported by the
