Novel Developments in Aquaculture and Fisheries Science Geoffrey Gilbert

Aquaculture and fisheries science are two distinct yet interrelated fields of study. Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic animals such as fishes, molluscs, algae and aquatic plants. Fisheries science is concerned with the management of fisheries by integrating the principles of oceanography, marine biology, ecology, limnology, etc. A common concern in both these fields is the sustainable exploitation of aquatic organisms in order to prevent extinction. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of aquaculture and fisheries science. It strives to provide significant in-depth knowledge of these disciplines and develop a comprehensive understanding. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
