Aquatic Ecological Restoration: Principles, Practices Progress provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific principles, practical approaches, and emerging innovations involved in restoring degraded aquatic ecosystems. Covering rivers, lakes, wetlands, estuaries, and coastal environments, the book highlights the growing ecological challenges caused by climate change, pollution, habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, and invasive species. It presents key restoration strategies including ecological engineering, habitat rehabilitation, ecosystem-based management, and sustainable conservation practices aimed at improving ecosystem resilience and environmental sustainability.The volume also discusses planning and design of restoration projects, monitoring and evaluation techniques, ecosystem modelling, environmental auditing, and the use of modern assessment tools for ecosystem health analysis. Special emphasis is given to governance frameworks, environmental policies, and legal aspects supporting restoration initiatives. Designed for students, researchers, environmental professionals, and policymakers, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the science, management, and future directions of aquatic ecological restoration and sustainable aquatic resource management.

The book is a comprehensive and updated textbook that focuses on modern advancements in shellfish aquaculture and breeding technologies. Shellfish play a crucial role in global food security, coastal livelihoods, and sustainable aquaculture systems, and this book highlights their growing importance in response to increasing demand for high-quality protein and declining wild fisheries.The book provides an in-depth understanding of both classical and advanced breeding techniques used in commercially important shellfish such as shrimp, crab, oyster, mussel, clam, and scallop. It integrates traditional concepts with modern innovations including selective breeding, hybridization, genetic improvement, broodstock management, hatchery technology, and disease-resistant strain development.Special attention is given to practical aspects like larval rearing, seed production, and hatchery operations, along with emerging technologies such as genomic selection, cryopreservation, molecular tools, and climate-resilient breeding strategies. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals, this book serves as a valuable resource in fisheries and aquaculture science.
