Due to its advantages of a short production cycle, wide market demand, and profitability, decapod crustacean aquaculture has become one of the fastest‐growing food production systems. However, disease outbreaks have become one of the most important factors limiting the sustainability of decapod crustaceans. This review synthesizes current advancements in the understanding of emerging viral pathogens in decapod crustacean aquac...

Summary Current aggregate and top‐down approaches in life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) generally fail to account for spatial, temporal, and emergent behavioral dynamics simultaneously during the inventory stage. We discuss the key characteristics captured by complex system approaches (agent‐based modeling [ABM] in particular) in the context of LCSA. It is understood that by integrating ABM, temporal, spatial, and beh...
