For the September edition, our experts wrote about why ocean acidification is posing problems for shellfish, how researchers used gravitational waves to observe a black hole and neutron star orbiting each other and merging, and what the future could look like — with humanoids in our midst.

In an era of changing climate and growing food insecurity, aquaculture — breeding, raising, and harvesting fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants — has emerged as an effective complement to harvesting wild fish stocks.
