In recent decades, we have witnessed a rapid increase in world aquaculture production, the so-called ‘blue revolution’. So as to provide a holistic overview of the socio-ecological threats coupled with this increase, a literature review has been conducted. The following seven major socio-ecological impacts were identified: (i) the damage and destruction of natural environments, (ii) discharges; (iii) a risk to wild fish and shellfish populations, (iv) spatial conflicts, (v) threats to food security, (vi) unfairness in the access to commons; and (vii) the unequal distribution of benefits. So as to move forward from ‘blue revolution’ to a ‘blue evolution’ and attain sustainable aquaculture, the following tools have been identified as instrumental for the transition process: technical, management, governance and legal aspects.

近几十年来，我们目睹了世界水产养殖产量的快速增长，即所谓的“蓝色革命”。为了提供与这种增加相伴而生的社会生态威胁的整体概况，进行了文献综述。确定了以下七个主要的社会生态影响：（i）自然环境的破坏和破坏，（ii）排放；（iii）对野生鱼类和贝类种群的风险；（iv）空间冲突；（v）对粮食安全的威胁；（vi）获取公地的不公平；（vii）利益分配不均。为了从“蓝色革命”迈向“蓝色进化”并实现可持续的水产养殖，已确定以下工具对过渡过程至关重要：技术，管理，治理和法律方面。
