• Abstract: Aquaculture, an ancient practice of controlled cultivation in aquatic environments, plays a crucial role in global food production, covering a variety of aquatic organisms, such as fish, crustaceans, algae and molluscs. In this context, the planktonic microalgae community plays a vital role in the food chain and water quality, directly influencing the dynamics of cultivation ponds. Water quality emerges as a crucial element for the success of aquaculture, being impacted by several factors, including fertilization and management practices. Furthermore, fishing services, enterprises focused on sport fishing, emerge as an additional source of income within the aquaculture sector. However, they require rigorous monitoring of water quality due to the potential impacts that may occur, requiring appropriate management and preventive measures to ensure the sustainability of these projects.
