Abalone: Biology, Ecology, Aquaculture and Fisheries, Volume 42 in the Developments in Aquaculture and Fisheries Science series, describes the taxonomy of more than 50 abalone species worldwide. The content contains information on the biology, physiology and ecology of each species as well as reproduction, genetics, diseases and parasites. It includes abalone fisheries in different parts of the world, detailing abalone aquaculture in China, Japan, Korea, Australia, Europe and Western North America. This reference takes a comprehensive approach to understanding overall shellfish management, making it valuable to fisheries, marine biologists and researchers studying shellfish, aquaculture and the ocean environment.
This will also be a great resource for government and academia professionals interested in aquaculture and fisheries and their sustainable futures.
Includes the newest information on diseases and parasites, marine contaminants, genetics, population dynamics and more, with extensive reference lists provided for each chapterAddresses the full scope of aquaculture expansion and issues surrounding sustainability and production and the newest observations in marine contaminants and effects on abalone productionIncludes the most recent advances in research and the newest developments in industry by top world experts1 898 kr

Plastics in the Sea: Occurrence and Impacts is a comprehensive reference written by renowned leaders in the field. It synthesizes existing knowledge of how mega-, macro-, micro-, and nanoplastics impact marine environments and marine life, ranging from zooplankton, fishes, and invertebrates to birds, mammals, turtles, manatees, and other megafauna. The chapters provide basic and integrated discussions of the presence, sources, and fates; methodologies for detection, chemistry, and degradation; impacts on organisms and food webs; implications for fisheries and aquaculture; policy and public engagement; and economic and legal implications of plastic pollution. Plastics in the Sea: Occurrence and Impacts is an indispensable resource for marine resource managers, ecotoxicologists, fisheries stakeholders, policymakers, and academic researchers interested in the occurrence, impacts, and mitigation of marine plastic pollution.
Provides readers with foundational information to guide research efforts and management decisionsDiscusses how debris such as plastic bags, bottles, caps, fishing line, and more can have severe impacts on marine faunaPresents the latest research on how microplastics interact with filter-feeding organisms and potentially accumulate within marine food chainsPresents detailed descriptions and critical assessments of methodologies for determination, identification, and reliable experimental designProvides information on potential preservation methods and recovery rates to determine validity of extraction methodsDiscusses and dispels myths and misconceptions regarding impacts of plastics on ecosystems and marine faunaDescribes chemical composition, breakdown of products, and implications for synergistic impacts of plastics and other pollutantsConsiders economic policies and legal aspects of plastic pollutionMakes recommendations for international harmonization of technologies, development of biodegradable plastics and substitute products, and expanded education and recycling efforts2 591 kr
