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.
Sea lice are one of the most important and costly health issues for
Atlantic salmon aquaculture and for culture of many other marine
fish species. In addition, the extent and causes of impacts of sea
lice upon wild salmonids has proven a hotly debated issue and one
that continues to affect public perceptions of aquaculture. It is
29 years since the last dedicated book on sea lice biology and
management, Pathogens of Wild and Farmed Fish: Sea Lice (Boxshall
and Defaye, 1993), and a volume of current perspectives is overdue.
The current book updates knowledge concerning the biology and
management of sea lice, authored by over 60 world-leading
researchers, practitioners and industry experts, written in an
accessible and engaging style. New topics include genomics,
vaccinology, physiology and epidemiology, and aspects of
interactions with wild fisheries are thoroughly reviewed. Sea Lice
Biology and Control is of interest to and provides an invaluable
reference for sea lice researchers, parasitologists, students, fish
farmers, veterinarians and other fish health professionals, wild
fish biologists and managers, regulators, government, fish
certification professionals and NGOs. The book provides an
authoritative overview of sea lice and their interactions and gives
a clear illustration of the application of the principles of
integrated pest management in an aquaculture context. This volume
covers an impressive array of topics, guiding the community on
their journey towards awareness of the most recent advances in sea
lice biology and through to the latest genomics studies - Prof.

Roughly half the seafood we eat comes from farms, and yet many
consumers remain hesitant, even resistant to buying farmed fish.
Aquaculture is compared with both terrestrial agriculture and
capture fisheries and has endured considerable, often unfounded,
criticism. Understanding Aquaculture addresses the controversial
aspects of aquaculture, answering common questions about the
industry and farmed seafood. Are farmed fish safe to eat? Are wild
fish more nutritious? Do fish farms pollute the environment?
Understanding Aquaculture sets the record straight for the world's
most important source of seafood. Aquaculture is critical to food
security, both now and in the future, and an informed and
supportive public is needed to ensure its potential is fully
realized. Informative and engaging, Understanding Aquaculture is a
thoroughly researched resource for students and practitioners, but
manages to put the facts within reach of casual readers.
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.
