Aquaculture, Fisheries and Fish Biology

14 Sharks of the OpenOceanFisheries and Aquaculture Books 2006/2007IN PREPARATIONBiology, fisheries and conservationEdited by Merry Camhi & Ellen K. PikitchThis important and exciting title represents the firstauthoritative volume focussed on pelagic (open ocean)sharks as a group. Virtually every pelagic shark expertin the world has contributed to this landmarkpublication which includes the latest data andknowledge on pelagic shark biology, fisheries,management, and conservation.Pelagic sharks face unprecedented levels of exploitationin all the world’s oceans through both direct fisheriesand by-catch, and effective management for thesespecies is contingent upon solid science and data,which this book brings together for the first time. Allthose involved in shark biology will need to have acopy of this book.2007, 320 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0632059958,9780632059959Spiny LobstersFisheries and CultureSecond EditionBruce Phillips & Jiro Kittaka“A very valued contribution to the body of knowledgeon a very important fishery.” Fishing Boat WorldSpiny lobsters are among the world’s most valuableand highly prized seafoods. Demand for spiny lobstershas spurred the need both for better management andfor research on which to base that management.The book opens with a brief review of the generalbiology, distribution, fishing techniques etc. but themajor emphasis is on the latest management strategies,developments in aquaculture, marketing andeconomics. A special feature of the book will bedetailed reviews of the spiny lobster fishery, researchand marketing in Japan, where customers are willingto pay more than US$50 per pound for live lobsters.2000, 704 PAGES, 0852382642, 9780852382646Sustainable Fishery SystemsAnthony T. CharlesFISH AND AQUATIC RESOURCES SERIESTEXTBOOK“The most comprehensive treatise I have read on thesubject of fisheries systems.” Fish and FisheriesThis book is, perhaps, the first comprehensive attempt toadopt an ‘integrated’ interdisciplinary approach to thestudy of fisheries. This text analyses fisheries as holistic‘systems’ providing a comprehensive understanding oftheir diversity, structure and operation. Thisinterdisciplinary approach is applied to the study of‘sustainable fisheries’, examining five dominant themes inmodern-day fishery systems; sustainability, uncertainty,conflict, fishing rights and the nature of management.This is ideal as a textbook for fishery courses that seek toboth transcend disciplinary boundaries and to combinetheoretical analysis with practical case studies. The book’sintegrated approach is applied to both coastal andaquaculture systems and it is thus highly relevant tostudents in both areas. Case studies from around theworld are integrated into the text.Shrimp CultureEconomics, Market andTradeEdited by PingSun Leung &Carole EnglePUBLISHED IN COOPERATION WITHTHE WORLD AQUACULTURE SOCIETYThe growth in the demand forand culture of shrimp hasexceeded most expectations andIN PREPARATIONthis growth is expected to continueuntil at least 2025. A proper knowledge of theeconomics, market and trade for shrimp is now asimportant to shrimp farmers and aquaculturescientists, as is disease management or husbandry.This important book covers all major aspects of theeconomics, trade and markets for shrimp worldwide,with chapters written by experts from majorconsuming and farming countries such as the U.S.A.and major providers such as Thailand and Brazil.Shrimp Culture is an essential purchase for everyoneinvolved in this massive industry across the globe.2006, 416 PAGES, PAPERBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0813826551,9780813826554Stock Assessment in InlandFisheriesEdited by Ian G.

Blankenship & Terje Svasand“A very important book about a very importantsubject.” Professional Fisherman“An excellent compendium of often hard-to-findpublished examples…very valuable as a referencesource for anyone interested in stock enhancementand sea ranching.” Fish and FisheriesThe collapse of many of the World’s fisheries continuesto be of major concern and the enhancement of fishstocks through techniques such as ranching is of hugeimportance and interest across the globe. Thisimportant book contains fully peer reviewed andcarefully edited papers from the Second InternationalSymposium in Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching.2004, 584 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 1405111194,9781405111195Stocking and Introductions ofFishIn Freshwater and Marine EcosystemsEdited by Ian G.

T. CrispThe author has spent many yearsstudying the ecology of salmonand trout and has used thisconsiderable experience to bringtogether and summarise theresults of recent research on theecology of riverine salmonids in a form that iscomprehensible without sacrificing scientific rigour. Theinformation contained in this text forms the essential basisfor habitat improvement. It also deals in detail with themanner in which man’s varied activities impinge upon thewell-being of the salmonids and this leads on to aconsideration of the general philosophy underlyingpractical measures for conservation and rehabilitation.This text will be particularly valuable for fisheries scientistsand ecologists both at professional and student level.2000, 224 PAGES, PAPERBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0852382561,9780852382561Order online at www.blackwellfish.com
