This book was released on 2009-03-03 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in Cooperation with THE UNITED STATES AQUACULTURE SOCIETY The rapid growth of aquaculture worldwide and domestically has caused concerns over social and environmental impacts. Environmental advocacy groups and government regulatory agencies have called for better management to address potentially negative impacts and assure sustainable aquaculture development. Best Management Practices (BMPs) combine sound science, common sense, economics, and site-specific management to mitigate or prevent adverse environmental impacts. Environmental Best Management Practices for Aquaculture will provide technical guidance to improve the environmental performance of aquaculture. This book will be the only comprehensive guide to BMPs for mitigation of environmental impacts of aquaculture in the United States. The book addresses development and implementation of BMPs, BMPs for specific aquaculture production systems, and the economics of implementing best management practices. Written by internationally recognized experts in environmental management and aquaculture from academia, government, and non-governmental organizations, this book will be a valuable reference for innovative producers, policy makers, regulators, research scientists, and students.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) diversifies species culture to produce a variety of products and mitigate nutrient impacts associated with finfish culture. This study examined two biological indicators that could be used to assess IMTA performance with respect to changes in nutrient release. Changes in biocolonization of wild fouling species were examined as an indicator of organic nutrients. Bio-collectors were deployed at different distances from finfish sites to determine if differences in the accumulation of fouling species could be used to detect an aquaculture nutrient source. Biomass accumulation was different with respect to distance from farms and it appears that changes in species composition is responsible. Although there were no measurable differences with respect to distance from salmon cages in environmental conditions such as temperature, salinity, pH, turbidity or chlorophyll, further investigation is suggested to better understand the role of site infrastructure. The relationship between algal colour (lightness, chroma, hue) and nitrogen content within Ulva lactuca, Palmaria palmata, and Poryphyra purpurea was also examined as an indicator of inorganic nutrients. Within each species, colour change corresponded to nitrogen concentration in the thallus, but season and location were significant factors. Palmaria palmata and P. purpurea exhibit less predictable relationships between colour and nitrogen and are harder to identify than U. lactuca and would not be reliable indicators at certain times of year or locations. In both studies the use of wild species responses to nutrient availability was influenced by species type and variability in the coastal environment and require further study before application as tools for IMTA performance monitoring and assessment.

Download or read book New Technologies in Aquaculture written by Gavin Burnell and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 1226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With wild stocks declining due to over-fishing, aquaculture will have a more significant role to play in meeting future demand for fresh fish. Developments in research continue to lead to improvements in aquaculture production systems, resulting in increased production efficiency, higher product quality for consumers and a more sustainable industry. New technologies in aquaculture reviews essential advances in these areas. Part one focuses on the genetic improvement of farmed species and control of reproduction, with chapters on genome-based technologies in aquaculture research, selective breeding and the production of single sex and sterile populations, among other topics. Parts two and three review key issues in health, diet and husbandry, such as the control of viral and parasitic diseases, diet and husbandry techniques to improve disease resistance, advances in diets for particular fish species and the impact of harmful algal bloom on shellfisheries aquaculture. Chapters in Parts three and four then examine the design of different aquaculture production systems, including offshore technologies, tank-based recirculating systems and ponds, and key environmental issues, such as the prediction and assessment of the impact of aquaculture. Concluding chapters focus on farming new species. With its well-known editors and distinguished international team of contributors, New technologies in aquaculture is an essential purchase for professionals and researchers in the aquaculture industry. Reviews recent advances in improvements in aquaculture production Focuses on the genetic improvement and reproduction of farmed species, including genome-based technologies Discusses key health issues, including advances in disease diagnosis, vaccine development and other emerging methods to control pathogens in aquaculture
Download or read book Toxic written by Richard Flanagan and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a triumph of marketing, the Tasmanian salmon industry has for decades succeeded in presenting itself as world’s best practice and its product as healthy and clean, grown in environmentally pristine conditions. What could be more appealing than the idea of Atlantic salmon sustainably harvested in some of the world’s purest waters? But what are we eating when we eat Tasmanian salmon? Richard Flanagan’s exposé of the salmon farming industry in Tasmania is chilling. In the way that Rachel Carson took on the pesticide industry in her ground-breaking book Silent Spring, Flanagan tears open an industry that is as secretive as its practices are destructive and its product disturbing. From the burning forests of the Amazon to the petrochemicals you aren’t told about to the endangered species being pushed to extinction you don’t know about; from synthetically pink-dyed flesh to seal bombs . . . If you care about what you eat, if you care about the environment, this is a book you need to read. Toxic is set to become a landmark book of the twenty-first century.
