Download or read book Edible Sea Urchins Biology and Ecology written by John M. Lawrence and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2006-12-07 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sea urchins are a major component of the world ocean. They are important ecologically and often greatly affect marine communities. They have an excellent fossil record and consequently are of interest to paleontologists. Research has increased in recent years stimulated first by a recognition of their ecological importance and then because of their economic importance. Scientists around the world are actively investigating their potential for aquaculture. This book is designed to provide a broad understanding of the biology and ecology of sea urchins. Synthetic chapters consider biology of sea urchins as a whole to give a broad view. The topics of these chapters include reproduction, metabolism, endocrinology, larval ecology, growth, digestion, carotenoids, disease and nutrition. Subsequent chapters consider the ecology of individual species that are of major importance ecologically and economically. These include species from Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Europe, North America, South America and Africa. * First comprehensive book devoted to the biology and ecology of sea urchins* NEW chapter on Nutrition of Sea Urchins and Ecology of Diadema* Brand NEW illustrations* Hot NEW topic: Immunology of the Sea Urchin* Chapters written by internationally recognized experts* Each chapter revised and updated from the first edition* Biological chapters include reproduction, endocrinology, carotenoids and disease* Ecological chapters include species of major economic interest for fisheries and aquaculture

Download or read book Aquaculture 4th Edition written by Robert R. Stickney and published by CABI. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a broad and readable overview of the subject, this updated fourth edition of Aquaculture: An Introductory Text covers issues associated with sustainable aquaculture development, culture systems, hatchery methods, nutrition and feeding of aquaculture species, reproductive strategies, harvesting, and many other topics. While its main focus is on the culture of fish, molluscs and crustaceans for food, the book also covers other forms of aquaculture, such as the production of seaweeds, recreational fish and ornamental species, as well as live foods, such as algae and rotifers that are used to feed larval shrimp and marine fish. Aquaculture remains one of the most rapidly growing agricultural disciplines, and this book remains an essential resource for all students of aquaculture and related disciplines.
