Aquaculture, Fisheries and Fish Biology

The SalmonAquaculture IndustryT. Bjorndal & F. AscheThis book has been written to satisfy the need for atext on the international salmon aquaculture industry.It discusses the different processed making up theindustry from salmon aquaculture production, thesupply chain and markets to optimal harvesting andthe costing and planning of salmon production.2007, 256 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0852382898,9780852382899Salmon at theEdgeEdited by Derek Mills“I would recommend this bookto anyone with an interest inAtlantic salmon and Iagree…that it is ‘essentialreading’ for students andprofessionals involved withresearch or management of salmonid fishes or withsalmon aquaculture.” HydrobiologiaThis prestigious book contains important informationconcerning the exploitation and conservation of Atlanticsalmon, one of the world’s most commercially importantspecies both as a wild-caught and farmed fish.Carefully edited by Dr. Derek Mills, one of the world’sleading salmonid biologists and well known editor ofmany publications covering salmon, this book coverssuch important topics as the all-important early lifestages of salmon, the search for sustainability insalmon farming and hazards to salmon, such aspredators, pollution and algal blooms. The bookconcludes with a fascinating section looking atpointers for the future. All salmonid researchers shouldhave a copy of this book on their shelves.2003, 320 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0632064579,9780632064571Salmonid FishesPopulation Biology, Genetics andManagementY. P. Altukhov, E. A. Salmenkova &V. T. Omelchenko(English translation edited by J. Thorpe &G. Carvalho)FISH AND AQUATIC RESOURCES SERIESIN PREPARATIONThis important title encompasses features of geneticprocesses in complexly organised populations ofsalmonids - one of the most commercially valuablefamilies of fish. Translated from the original work inRussian, the authors have taken the opportunity toupdate and revise the work, much of which appears inthe English language for the first time. This newlyrevised text provides a wealth of information forfisheries biologists, and all involved in salmonidbiology and management.2000, 368 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0632055871,9780632055876Scallop FarmingSecond EditionDavid HardyScallop farming continues to be an expanding industryin many countries, providing an important source offood and revenue. Over fishing of wild-caught scallopshas caused a decline in stocks, but the market forscallops is increasing worldwide. This is providing anever-increasing platform on which new scallop farmingventures can be based.This important second edition contains much newinformation relating to the technical, environmentaland legislative aspect of culture of scallops. Fullyrevised and updated with a great deal of informationvital to successful scallop farming operations, this bookwill be an essential purchase for all those involved inthe scallop farming industry.2006, 288 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 1405113634,9781405113634Sea IceAn Introduction to itsPhysics, Chemistry,Biology and GeologyEdited by D. N. Thomas &G. S. Dieckmann“This excellent book providesconsiderable food forthought.” Fishing Boat World“Provides the scientific community with an excellentsource of reference on the biology of sea ice.” Arctic,Antarctic and Alpine ResearchSea ice covers many millions of square kilometers andas such is one of the world’s largest ecosystems. A fullunderstanding of how sea ice forms and consolidates,what is its role as a habitat for biological assemblagesand the ultimate fate of these organisms and their useas paleoenvironmental indicators is vital for polarresearch. This exciting new book takes a multidisciplinaryapproach to the subject, drawinginternational contributions from the range ofdisciplines making up sea ice research.2003, 416 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0632058080,9780632058082Sea TroutNEW EDITION**** NEW ****Biology, Conservation & ManagementEdited by Nigel Milner & Graeme HarrisThe sea trout is an important fish species bothcommercially and recreationally but until recently ithas been largely neglected and overshadowed byinterest in salmon. In July 2004 a major internationalconference was convened, attracting world classinternational scientists who have contributed to thismost important volume. The contents are broadlydivided into four sections covering: stocks andfisheries; genetics and life history; ecology andpopulation dynamics; and managing stocks and worldfisheries. The book is an essential purchase for manyfisheries managers and fish biologists.2006, 576 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED,1405129913,9781405129916SeamountsEdited by T. J. Pitcher, P. Hart, R. Santos & T. MoratoFISH AND AQUATIC RESOURCES SERIESSeamounts originate from volcanic islands that havesunk beneath the surface of the sea, mainly as a resultof erosion, or geological disturbance. The ecologicaland oceanographic importance of seamounts for thestatus of marine food webs and biodiversity has onlyrecently been recognized, yet seamounts world-widehave been so intensively exploited by fisheries thatmany of their biotic components have suffered seriousdepletion.This important book brings together our currentknowledge of seamounts, concentrating on the themesof recruitment and vulnerability of seamountorganisms, impacts on seamount biodiversity, and thesustainability and economic basis of seamountfisheries. Chapters which are written by acknowledgedexperts in marine and fisheries ecology includecoverage of the influences of ocean currents, complexfood web structures, transient feeding by visitors toseamounts such as whales and tunas, and theintegration of differing environmental compartmentsstratified by depth. The editors of this book havedrawn together an extremely valuable reference andtool for all those involved in marine ecosystems, andfisheries conservation and management.SERIES EDITOR: T J PITCHER2007, 384 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 1405133430,9781405133432Self-AssessmentColour Review ofOrnamental FishIN PREPARATIONEdited by Greg LewbartThe keeping of ornamentalfishes is the biggest animalrelated hobby in the world.Many textbooks and most ofthe related literature focus ondiseases of fish designated for human consumption,especially aquaculture species. This Self-AssessmentColour Review provides the reader with over 250clinical cases and covers all of the important medicaland surgical conditions found in ornamental fishes.The well illustrated cases appear randomly and aretargeted at different levels of expertise.A team of internationally known and respected authorshave written the questions and detailed explanatoryanswers, and Dr Lewbart has edited the text so that itis practical, informative and easy to read.1998, 192 PAGES, PAPERBACK, ILLUSTRATEDFOR PURCHASE IN NORTH AMERICA AND CANADAPLEASE QUOTE ISBN 0813826195, 9780813826196FOR PURCHASE IN UK,EUROPE AND REST OF THE WORLDPLEASE QUOTE ISBN 1874545812, 978187454811Blackwell Publishing Aquacultureand Fisheries JournalsTo see our list of journals in Aquaculture,Fisheries, Fish Biology and Aquatic Sciences,please go to pages 15 and 16.13Fisheries and Aquaculture Books 2006/2007Order online at www.blackwellfish.com
