Published in Cooperation with THE UNITED STATES AQUACULTURE SOCIETY
Population growth and increased appreciation of seafood's role in
human health have pushed global seafood consumption past the point
where capture fisheries can meet demand. Aquaculture--farming
aquatic plants and animals in oceans and inland waters--has
expanded rapidly in the past decade in response to the increased
demand for fishery products. The rapid growth of aquaculture
domestically and internationally has stimulated concerns over
social and environmental impacts caused by increased production of
farmed aquatic species. Environmental advocacy groups and
government regulatory agencies have called for better management to
address potentially negative impacts and assure sustainable
aquaculture development. Environmental Best Management Practices
for Aquaculture is the first synthesis of best management practices
that minimize environmental impacts.
Environmental Best Management Practices for Aquaculture provides
technical guidance to improve the environmental performance of
aquaculture. This book is the only comprehensive guide to best
management practices for mitigation of environmental impacts of
aquaculture. The book addresses development and implementation of
best management practices, practices for specific aquaculture
production systems, and the economics of implementing best
management practices.
Environmental Best Management Practices for Aquaculture includes
contributions from internationally recognized experts in
environmental management and aquaculture from academia, government,
and non-governmental organizations. The book is a valuable
reference for innovative producers, policy makers, regulators,
research scientists, and students.
