The population dynamics of infectious diseases may place new limitations on how the oceans feed humanity. Global fisheries landings ceased increasing decades ago, fuelling a rapidly growing gap between seafood demand and ocean fisheries. The blue revolution is transforming many coastal seas into areas of intensive aquaculture production, which has potential to relieve fishing pressure and provide sustainable seafood. However, infectious diseases have emerged that challenge aquaculture industries and may contribute to the decline of marine ecosystems and fisheries. This research will study the emergence and dynamics of marine infectious diseases in order to sustain coastal ecosystems and our seafood.

传染病的人口动态可能会对海洋如何养活人类施加新的限制。几十年前，全球渔业捕捞量停止增长，导致海产品需求与海洋渔业之间的差距迅速扩大。蓝色革命正在将许多沿海海域转变为集约化水产养殖生产区，这有可能缓解捕捞压力并提供可持续的海产品。然而，传染病的出现对水产养殖业构成了挑战，并可能导致海洋生态系统和渔业的衰退。这项研究将研究海洋传染病的出现和动态，以维持沿海生态系统和我们的海鲜。
