Description
With the expansion of the world aquaculture industry, there has been increasing concern over sustainability and environmental impact. This book addresses this topical issue, concentrating on marine aquaculture. Chapters have been developed from a meeting of the World Aquaculture Society, held in Florida in January 2001, although additional contributions have also been commissioned. There is a focus on: minimal net utilization of natural resources; the production of healthy products for food; appropriate regulations and policies; and case studies from various geographical settings, including North and Latin America, Asia and the Pacific.Reviews
"The editors and authors did a good job of addressing a variety of topics in the eighteen chapters. The book provides a lot of detail on some topics, but the strength of the volume-and the thing that makes it a very worthwhile edition to an aquaculture library-is that most of the chapters offer overviews, and in some cases, conceptual frameworks, or specific topicsEach person who reads this book will find sections that are of interest and very informative."--International Shellfisheries Association Quarterly Newsletter
