Odd-Ivar LekangWorldwide, aquaculture hasincreased at an average of9.2% per year for the past 30years, compared with only a2.8% per year increase forterrestrial animal farming.Production from fish (and shellfish**** NEW ****and algae) farms now comprises 30%of the total of the World’s food from our waters andthis growth is predicted to continue until at least2025.Aquaculture engineering is a key area for all aquaticproduction facilities and this comprehensive bookcovers all the main aspects of aquaculture engineeringwith chapters covering water transport and treatment,production units (e.g. tanks and cages), feedingsystems, fish transport and grading, egg handling,instrumentation and monitoring, slaughtering,cleaning and waste handling, construction and design,planning and quality control.2007, 352 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 9781405126106AquacultureMarketingHandbookThe AtlanticSalmon3Genetics, Conservationand ManagementCarole Engle &Kwamena QuagrainieThe diversity and idiosyncrasiesof the aquaculture and seafoodmarkets call for understandinginformation that is unique tothese markets. Presenting fundamental principles ofmarketing and economics from a user-friendly, how-toperspective Aquaculture Marketing Handbook providesthe reader with a broad base of information regardingaquaculture economics, markets and marketing. Inaddition, this volume also contains an extensiveannotated bibliography and webliography that providedescriptions to key additional sources of information.Written by authors with vast international aquaculturemarketing experience, Aquaculture MarketingHandbook is an important introduction and referencetool for those interested in aquaculture, those new tothe professional field, and even the most experiencedaquaculture professional.2006, 288 PAGES, PAPERBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 9780813816043Edited by Eric Verspoor, LeeStradmeyer & J L NielsenAtlantic Salmon is a culturalicon throughout its NorthAtlantic range; it is the focus ofNEW ****probably the world’s highest profile ****recreational fishery and is the basis for one of theworld’s largest aquaculture industries. Despite this,many wild stocks of salmon are in decline andunderpinning this is a dearth of information on thenature and extent of population structuring andadaptive population differentiation, and itsimplications for species conservation. This importantnew book will go a long way to rectify this situationby providing a thorough review of the genetics ofAtlantic Salmon. Sponsored by the European Unionand the Atlantic Salmon Trust, this book comprisesthe work of an international team of scientists,carefully integrated and edited to provide a landmarkbook of vital interest to all those working with Atlanticsalmon.2007, 536 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 9781405115827AquacultureGenomeTechnologiesEdited by John LiuIn recent years the area ofgenomics has grown rapidlywith great progress having beenmade in structural genomics ofmodel species. Recently,**** NEW ****genome-sequencing efforts havebeen made beyond model species and reached into thefield of aquaculture-related genomes. As the fieldexpands a book is needed to bridge the gap betweenbasic genomic technology and how to systematicallyapply this information to aquaculture genomes.Aquaculture Genome Technologies will fill just this gap.Edited by an international leader in aquaculturegenome research with contributions from leaders inthe field, this book will provide a tour through theaquaculture genomics process providing basicprinciples and detailed methodologies as to how to usegenome technologies to study the genomes ofaquaculture species. Aquaculture Genome Technologies isa must-have reference for anyone interested inaquaculture genomes.2007, 528 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 9780813802039Aquaculture-based FisheriesEdited by Kai LorenzenIN PREPARATIONAquaculture-based fisheries are fisheries based on theregular stocking of cultured organisms into natural ormodified aquatic ecosystems, and are complex resourcesystems at the interface of capture fisheries andaquaculture. Operating for finfish, molluscs andcrustaceans in inland and coastal waters, aquaculturebased fisheries represent a significant “niche” form ofaquatic resource use.This book aims to provide a comprehensive andintegrated treatment of aquaculture-based fisheriessystems. It is written primarily for scientists andprofessionals involved in the development andmanagement of culture-based fisheries while theintegrated and comparative treatment of fisheries andaquaculture aspects will also appeal to other scientistsand students.2008, 352 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 9780852382905Aquatic Animal DiseaseIN PREPARATIONEpidemiologyEdited by Pingguo HeIN PREPARATIONUnderstanding fish behavior in relation to potentialcommercial capture methods is of fundamentalimportance to reducing commercial bycatch andmarine fisheries conservation efforts. A more thoroughunderstanding of fish behaviors and responses tofishing gear will allow commercial fishers to moreeffectively capture target species while reducing thecatch of unwanted species.Behavior of Marine Fishes provides the reader withbasic behavioral principles and patterns, informationon fish behavior and fish capture processes usingseveral types of common fishing gear, and challengesfacing the marine fisheries industry in efforts tomaintain sustainable use of marine resources. Thisvolume, with contributions from leading applied fishbehaviorists and fishing gear technologists fromaround the world, will be a valuable reference forresearchers, fishing gear technologists, fisheriesmanagers, students, and conservationists.2008, 352 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 9780813815367Edited by Ed Peeler & Sophie St-HilaireThe application of epidemiology in fish healthmanagement has somewhat lagged behind itsapplication in terrestrial livestock in the past.
