Table of ContentsPreface Part I: GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ECOLOGICAL AQUACULTURE 1: Aquaculture Terminology and Basic Concepts 2: The Historical Origins of Aquaculture 3: Seafood and Beyond: Key Aquaculture Objectives 4: Aquaculture Systems as Mesocosms 5: Integrated Multitrophic Polycultures 6: Domestication of Aquaculture Species Part II: BIOLOGY AND CULTURE OF AQUATIC SPECIES 7: Overview of Aquaculture Species Diversity 8: Environmentally Sustainable Plant Aquaculture 9: Aquaculture of Sponges and Cnidarians 10: Mollusc Aquaculture 11: Crustacean Aquaculture 12: Ornamental Fishes 13: Aquaculture of Freshwater Fish 14: Anadromous Fish 15: Catadromous Fish Part III: WATER QUALITY PARAMETERS 16: Abiotic Parameters 17: Feeds, Waste, and Stress 18: Infectious DiseasesReviewsThis important new volume on aquaculture presents a remarkable synthesis of all the key issues involved in the commercial culturing of freshwater and marine species. It provides a comprehensive overview of the basic biological elements of aquaculture, including new information on the use of genomic and genetic tools, and incorporates these analyses into a broader ecological, environmental, and sociological context. The emphasis on strategies for protecting water quality-a vital part of the aquaculture enterprise-is especially well-presented. The volume deserves wide readership among students and scientists who not only have interests in aquaculture, but also in sustaining robust aquatic ecosystems in freshwater and marine environments. * George N.

Somero, David and Lucile Packard Emeritus Professor of Marine Science, Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University, USA * Readers can obtain an excellent overall summation of the problems and ways forward as people rely more and more on augmented fish and seafood production. Though the style is technical, this primer is appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate students in various fields, including ecology, geography, and more. * Choice * Author InformationDietmar Kültz is a Professor of Physiological Genomics at the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University of California, Davis, USA. His laboratory focuses on investigating the mechanisms of stress-induced evolution in fish and marine invertebrates. His research spans molecular to organism levels of biological complexity and utilizes reductionist synthetic biology, biochemical, and holistic systems level approaches to dissect causality between environmental effects on cells and organisms, physiological responses, and complex adaptive phenotypes. He teaches a molecular genetics laboratory course, an introductory aquaculture course, and a stress physiology course at UC Davis. Professor Kültz received his BSc/MS and doctoral degrees from the University of Rostock in Germany. He was a DAAD postdoctoral fellow at Oregon State University, a Fogarty Visiting Fellow at the NIH (Bethesda), and an Assistant Professor at the University of Florida before joining the faculty at UC Davis Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
