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. Geoff Boxshall FRS

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.

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.
