Diseases are a major threat to both wild and farmed fish. Pathogen-induced alterations in viability and growth of wild fish stocks can have implications on diversity and ecological status of aquatic ecosystems, as fish are main components of aquatic communities, and they can directly affect the exploitation of wild and farmed fish as a protein source for human consumption. Fish diseases can be …

Global warming and climate change are growing environmental concerns which are much in the scientific, governmental and public eye. The potential impact on freshwater and marine fishes is immense, because most fish have no physiological ability to regulate their body temperature. This volume focuses on the effects of temperature at all levels of organization in fish, with particular emphasis on…
This monograph is the result of requests from graduate and undergraduate students for a set of notes introducing the comparative pathology of fish. These notes therefore tend to compare the responses of fish tissues with those of mammals and, where possible, to highlight the differences. They are not intended to be an exhaustive list of etiologies, but rather should be viewed as an attempt to i…
After thousands of years of evolution, humankind has achieved a stage of civilization where many people take it for granted to enjoy strawberries in the wintertime, drink water from the other side of the globe, and fly around the world (if effective vaccinations against threatening viruses are available). Unfortunately, this quality of life is often achieved at the expense of others suffering …
This book is a timely reference text that highlights the role of vaccination in the fast-growing aquaculture industry. It discusses topics such as vaccine formulation, vaccine delivery, and enhancing the immune response of fish using nanoparticles. Information related to vaccine safety, ethical approval, and regulations is also discussed, together with dissemination of vaccines to fish farms ac…
The volume of aquaculture production worldwide has grown at a rate of approximately 8% per year over the last decade. Continued growth is expected due to increases in world population and the apparent leveling off of the capture of many commercial fisheries species. Farmed salmon and shrimp production have grown to dominate their respective world markets over the last several decades. More re…
This book introduces aquaculture ecology as a science of the interaction between commercial aquatic organisms as well as their farming activities and the environment, including the rationales of building and management of aquaculture systems. This book covers productivity and carrying capacity, effects of cyclical fluctuation of environmental factors on aquatic organisms, biological control of …
This report considers the growing trend in information requirements for seafood products in general with a focus on the distinct sustainability features of wild capture fisheries and aquaculture. Concerns about sustainability and the effectiveness of fisheries management have resulted in demand from NGOs, retailers and consumers for assurances that the food they purchase has been sustainably pr…
This manual consists of several chapters that deal with the techniques involved in the study of aquatic pathogens that cause infections, especially in fish. It covers a wide range of basic and advanced techniques associated with research on the isolation and identification of bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens, and probiotic bacteria. In addition, it addresses the treatment of pathogens usi…
Mollusca is one of the largest phyla in the animal kingdom, over 50,000 species having been described, thus comprising more than a half of the marine species. Molluscs are scientifically and economically important invertebrates, representing 8% of all captured marine species. One of the six molluscan classes is Bivalvia, which is composed of both marine and freshwater animals enclosed in shells…
The pike (Esox lucius Linnaeus, 1758), or northern pike as it is called in most of North America, is an iconic fish species that has fascinated mankind throughout history. Its large size and characteristic appearance have likely contributed to various tall stories, some of which are beautifully saved in Izaak Walton’s “The Compleat Angler or the Contemplative man’s Recreation” from 1653…
The vast majority of freshwater aquaculture is conducted in ponds. With every species cultured, whether cultured intensively or extensively, there is usually at least one pond production stage where pond fertilization is important. Although pond fertilization is an important cornerstone in aquaculture production, fertilization information is generally dispersed throughout scientific journal ar…

The stimulus for the 2006 version of this book was the publication of the Biology of Freshwater Crayfi sh , edited by David M. Holdich, in 2002, published by Blackwell Science Ltd. The Holdich book was different to most other texts dealing with similar material, in that although there are topics such as growth, nutrition and reproduction and behaviour, the full material for the commercial speci…
Around four decades ago professionals working on fi sheries problems generally agreed there was a crisis in the world’s fi sheries. The world’s fi sh catch had leveled off, many formerly productive fi sheries were badly depleted, and a few had utterly collapsed. Since then some progress has been made, but the overall trend worldwide has continued downward. True, the world’s total fish sup…
Principles of Sustainable Aquaculture aims to provide students, practitioners and the diverse and varied stakeholders committed to developing sustainable aquaculture practices with evidence and knowledge of better practices and guidance on appropriate adaptation and uptake promotion in other environmental, geographic, socio-economic and political settings. This book has a focus on emerging them…
Salmon have come a long way. Th ey were here before us. Th ey were the backbone of coastal human livelihoods, a reliable and seasonal resource, a conduit of nutrients from the depths of distant oceans, conveniently delivered where the land meets the sea. Our history together goes way back. But recently it took off in a new direction. Th is book is an ethnography of a “city of fi sh.” It tel…
Fisheries supply a critically important ecosystem service—providing high quality food resources to a burgeoning human population. Fishery products are among the most widely traded commodities in global markets. Fish and shellfish provide 3.1 billion people with nearly 20 per cent of their annual consumption of animal protein (FAO 2018). Perhaps more significantly, food derived from aquatic so…
This book is the first to present in a systematic manner the application of game theory to fisheries management at both international and national levels. Strategic interaction among fishers and nations exploiting fishery resources is an inescapable fact of life. This has long been recognized at the international level, and is becoming increasingly recognized at the national/regional level. It …
With this book, we draw attention to one of the crises that faces the World Ocean. As social scientists, we have conducted research in the areas of fishing and aquaculture, and have come to recognize the central significance of marine systems for human life. Individually and together, we have published many articles focused on fisheries and aquaculture. This work has appeared in various scholar…

The marine and brackishwater aquaculture is defined as the rearing of marine or brackishwater organisms under controlled environmental and feed conditions. Aquaculture is a rapidly growing food production industry, accounting for over one-third of global fisheries production and is a lucrative industry in the domestic and international markets.
