FSBI BRIEFING paper : NANOTECHNOLOGYIN FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURER. D. Handy*School of Biomedical & Biological Sciences, University of Plymouth, Drake Circus, PlymouthPL4 8AA, SUMMARYN anotechnology involves the application of materials at the nanoscale to new prod-ucts or processes. It is a rapidly growing industry currently worth billions of , with many potential benefits to society. There are opportunities for thefisheries and aquaculture industries to use existing nanotechnologies, and also todevelop new applications specific to the industry. The potential benefits of nan-otechnology for fisheries and aquaculture need to be balanced against concerns forthe environment and the occupational health of workers. The key points are asfollows: Man-made nanomaterials (NMs), sometimes called engineered NMs or manu-factured NMs, are novel materials that have at least one dimension<100 nmor have a primary size in the 1 100 nm range.
