The book will tell the history and story of Down East Maine lobster
fishing. Author Christina Lemieux's family has been lobster
fishermen for four generations, and the book draws from their
personal recollections and documentation. It will then bring to
life the experience of Down East Maine lobster fishing and living
in a lobster fishing community. The book details how one goes about
catching lobster, the seasons of lobster fishing and the perils of
such a physically grueling job. It also talks about "lobster
culture" some of the unique pastimes of lobster fishermen, such as
the sport of Maine lobster boat racing. Finally, the book will give
a brief overview of how to properly cook Maine lobster and provide
some of the area's favorite lobster recipes.

Fish Nutrition, Fourth Edition is an up-to-date, authoritative
presentation of all key elements of the nutrition of fish and
crustaceans. As aquaculture is rapidly expanding, more than 200
herbivorous and carnivorous species occupy a diverse range of
ecological niches, and have therefore evolved to utilize a wide
array of food sources. This new edition highlights these
differences and covers the complexity and challenges associated
with fish nutrition, addressing nutrient requirements to produce
high-quality, healthful and sustainable resources, the essential
nutrients for fish species, including proteins and amino acids,
vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, a feed quality
assessment, and fish pathology. Led by a team of international
experts, this edition provides readers with new information on the
use of high-throughput technologies in fish nutrition research, the
role of feeds on the community structure of the microbiome, and
advances in essential nutrient requirements.
Sustainable Fish Production and Processing is a unique resource
that bridges the gap between academia and industry by analyzing
new, state-of-the-art fish production, processing and waste
management. The book explores general valorization methods,
focusing on the extraction of high added-value compounds and their
reutilization in different fields of the food and nutraceuticals
industry. Sections take a comprehensive approach to understanding
the most recent advances in the field, while also analyzing the
potentiality and sustainability of already commercialized processes
and products. This resource could be utilized as a handbook for
anyone dealing with sustainability issues within the fish industry.
Emphasis of fish production is given to food security issues, large
marine ecosystems, aquaculture genomics, epigenetics and breeding,
proteomics for quality and safety in fishery products, post-harvest
practices in small scale fisheries, and lifecycle impact of
industrial aquaculture systems. Emphasis of fish processing and
by-products is given to industrial thawing of fish blocks, sources
and functional properties of fish protein hydrolysates, recovery
technologies and applications, potential biomedical applications,
ready-to-eat products, fish waste for bacterial protease
production, fish waste for feeding as well as lipid extraction from
fish processing for biofuels.
Aquaculture Pharmacology is a reliable, up-to-date, "all inclusive"
reference and guide that provides an understanding of practical
drug information for the aquaculture industry. This book covers the
sources, chemical properties, and mechanisms of action of drugs,
and the biological systems upon which they act. It covers various
drug interactions, therapeutic uses of drugs, as well as legal
considerations within the industry as a whole. It presents the four
main groups of drugs used in fish, crustaceans and molluscs and
includes disinfectants, antimicrobial drugs, antiparasitic agents,
and anesthetics, and identifies areas where more research is needed
to generate more knowledge to support a sustainable aquaculture
industry. With the burgeoning international aquaculture expansion
and expanding global trade in live aquatic animals and their
products this book is useful to bacteriologists, mycologists,
aquaculturists, clinical practitioners in aquatic animal health and
all those in industry, government or academia who are interested in
aquaculture, fisheries and comparative biology.
Fisheries and Aquaculture: The Food Security of the Future takes a
multidisciplinary approach in evaluating the fisheries and
aquaculture sectors from the scienti?c and practical perspectives
of industry professionals. The authors recognize the importance of
looking at the industry from a value chain viewpoint, not only for
food security but also for a blue economy. The book takes a unique
and innovative approach to show how ?sheries and aquaculture can
achieve sustainability and how small ?shery communities can become
highly successful ?shery and aquaculture communities and contribute
to overall industry globalization. This is a practical and useful
reference for a wide-ranging audience. It is for those who wish to
make systematic e?orts to develop their fisheries or aquaculture
sectors, scientists and researchers, anyone in ?sheries management
or marine resource management, ?sh farmers, policy makers, leaders
and regulators, operations researchers, as well as faculty and
students.
Handbook of Food and Feed from Microalgae: Production, Application,
Regulation, and Sustainability is a comprehensive resource on all
aspects of using microalgae in food and feed. This book covers
applied processes, including compounds found in microalgae
applicable in food and feed, food products developed with
microalgae biomass in the composition, the use of microalgae in
animal nutrition, and challenges and recent advances. Written by
global leading experts on microalgae, the book's sections discuss
the fundamentals of food and feed from microalgae, including its
biodiversity, biogeography, genomics, nutritional purposes and
compounds found within microalgae like proteins, vitamins and
antioxidants. In addition, the book explains the incorporation of
microalgae into meat, dairy, beverages and wheat products, as well
as in real-world food applications in aquaculture, mollusk, poultry
and pet feeding. The last two sections cover challenges and issues
such as bioavailability and bio-accessibility and how to address
safety, regulatory, market, economics and environment concerns.
The Sounds of Science provides a comprehensive account of a
large-scale scientific experiment with globally operating seafood
corporations headquartered in North America, Europe, and Asia. It
describes how scientists worked to identify these, world’s
largest seafood companies, and how their disproportionate powers
were mobilized in a coalition of companies called SeaBOS (Seafood
Business for Ocean Stewardship), aiming to provide global and
science-based industry leadership on ocean stewardship. As invoked
by the cover art (Flow, 2020) by world-renowned creative director,
Kashiwa Sato, the experiment is creating a small wave of change
that sits within a larger wave, supporting and generating larger
movements towards improved stewardship of the planet. A new
direction for the private sector is emerging, and new priorities
are flourishing. The book explores how corporations, guided by
science, can be part of the solution to the biosphere challenges.
Written in collaboration with international experts on
sustainability, ocean ecosystems, fisheries policy, and
corporations, this book explores the mechanisms leading to the
evolution of cooperation, and the barriers to address in order to
engage in collaborative learning, corporate change and novel
science. It offers tangible advice to scientists on how to work
with the private sector for a better, more sustainable world. The
Sounds of Science is an important resource for scientists
interested in engaging with the private sector. Corporate leaders
and policy makers will find this book useful for understanding,
collaborating, and working with the planet to reach global
sustainability goals.
