"Aquaculture, Resource Use, and the Environment "places aquaculture within the larger context of global population growth, increased demand for sustainable, reliable sources of food, and the responsible use of natural resources. Aquaculture production has grown rapidly in recent decades as over-exploitation and environmental degradation have drastically reduced wild fish stocks. As fish production has increased, questions have persisted about the environmental sustainability of current aquaculture practices.
"Aquaculture, Resource Use, and the Environment "is a timely synthesis and analysis of critical issues facing the continued growth and acceptance of aquaculture practices and products. Chapters look at the past, present, and future demands for food, tackle key issues ranging from land and water use to mitigation of negative environmental impacts of fish production, and critically review aquaculture production systems.
Providing broad coverage of issues that are essential to the continued development of aquaculture production, "Aquaculture, Resource Use, and the Environment "will be vital resource for anyone involved in the field of aquaculture.
