Artificial habitats have been used for centuries to successfully
modify environments for the benefit of Man. In the aquatic
environment, the use of artificial habitat technologies is of
growing interest worldwide. Opportunities exist in both developed
and developing nations to apply these technologies in many areas,
including classical scientific investigations of ecosystem
structure and function, engineering advances in underwater
technology, and fisheries and environmental management.
The applications of artificial habitat technologies are taking on
ever greater economic, social, and environmental importance
globally, not only in developed countries such as Japan where
highly sophisticated technologies are used, but also in developing
nations, where lower cost practices are in use. There is growing
pressure to increase production, while at the same time preserve or
enhance the environments and ecosystems surrounding
fisheries.
This book provides a comprehensive review of the facts, issues, and
global trends emerging regarding the use of artificial habitats in
aquatic ecosystems. It presents the most recent scientific advances
in ecology and engineering technologies related to the building of
artificial habitats, and it also presents many of the fisheries
management and socioeconomic and environmental issues.
Artificial Habitats for Marine and Freshwater Fisheries will be of
interest to a broad audience including natural resource scientists,
planners, and managers, particularly those interested in aquatic
and fisheries science and management; organizations and individuals
interested in commercial and recreational fishing; ecologists;
environmental economists, engineers, lawyers, and social
scientists; and geographers.
