Download or read book Aquaculture in China written by Jian-Fang Gui and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fish have been a major component of our diet and it has been suggested that fish/seafood consumption contributed to the development of the human brain, and this together with the acquisition of bipedalism, perhaps made us what we are. In the modern context global fish consumption is increasing. However, unlike our other staples, until a few years back the greater proportion of our fish supplies were of a hunted origin. This scenario is changing and a greater proportion of fish we consume now is of farmed origin. Aquaculture, the farming of waters, is thought to have originated in China, many millennia ago. Nevertheless, it transformed into a major food sector only since the second half of the last century, and continues to forge ahead, primarily in the developing world. China leads the global aquaculture production in volume, in the number of species that are farmed, and have contributed immensely to transforming the practices from an art to a science. This book attempts to capture some of the key elements and practices that have contributed to the success of Chinese aquaculture. The book entails contributions from over 100 leading experts in China, and provides insights into some aquaculture practices that are little known to the rest of the world. This book will be essential reading for aquaculturists, practitioners, researchers and students, and planners and developers.
Download or read book Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching written by Bari Howell and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1999-09-15 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stock enhancement and sea ranching has been practised for decades for a wide variety of marine fish and invertebrate species in Japan, and for salmonids. As a result, fisheries scientists and managers worldwide have been encouraged to use these techniques to increase the productivity of existing fisheries, to create new fisheries, and to restore those that are no longer viable. Projects are now under way not only in Japan, but on cod in Norway, striped mullet in Hawaii, red drum in Texas, white seabass in California, scallops in New Zealand, shrimp in China and sturgeons in the Caspian Sea, to name a few. This edited work, based on the first International Symposium on Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching, presents and discusses advances in these techniques and their consequences and sets out to identify the most important priorities for future research.

Download or read book The Last Fish Swimming written by Gohar A. Petrossian and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-05-17 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the global, local, and specific environmental factors that facilitate illegal fishing and proposes effective ways to reduce the opportunities and incentives that threaten the existence of the world's fish. Humans are deeply dependent on fishing—globally, fish comprise 15 percent of the protein intake for approximately 3 billion people, and 8 percent of the global population depends on the fishing industry as their livelihood. The global fishing industry is plagued by illegal fishing, however, and many highly commercial species, such as cod, tuna, orange roughy, and swordfish, are extremely vulnerable. Through criminological analysis, The Last Fish Swimming emphasizes the importance of looking at specific environmental factors that make illegal fishing possible. It examines such factors as proximity to known ports where illegally caught fish can be landed without inspection (i.e., ports of convenience), fisheries monitoring, control and surveillance efforts, formal surveillance, and resource attractiveness in 53 countries that altogether represent 96 percent of the world's fish catch. The book calls upon the global community to address the illegal depletion of the world's fish stock and other similar threats to the world's food supply and natural environment in order to ensure the sustainability of the planet's fish and continuation of the legal fishing industry for generations to come.

Download or read book Echinodermata written by Valeria Matranga and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-05-20 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Members of the phylum Echinodermata are among the most familiar marine invertebrates. Forms such as the sea star have become virtually a symbol of sea life. Used in ancient oriental medicine as a source of bioactive compounds, sea cucumbers, sea stars and sea urchins are now used for the extraction and purification of cytotoxic, haemolytic, antiviral, antifungal, antifouling, antimicrobial and even anti-tumoural activities. In addition, of the five extant classes, sea urchins and sea cucumbers are important economic resources for current fishery and aquaculture. Molecular and cell biological techniques described in this book are, on the one hand, indicative of the improvements made over the years and, on the other, stress the need of their further exploitation for the sustainable production of bioactive compounds and their application in biomedicine.
