This book summarizes the latest
understanding of the impact of xenobiotics on the developmental and
reproductive processes of aquatic animals, particularly nektonic
forms, which comprise an important group of aquatic ecosystems.
Aquaculture is quickly becoming the largest contributor of fish
protein for human consumption. As the aquaculture business expands,
farmed fish will be exposed to more environmental toxins,
necessitating the use of chemical therapeutic drugs for fish.
This book brings together experts on the regulation of
environmental toxins and food chemicals from around the world, as
well as researchers looking into the metabolism and disposal of
foreign chemicals (xenobiotics) in fish species. The impact of
xenobiotics on reproductive and developmental biology of all living
forms has become of prime importance at the current time. As the
effect of these xenobiotics on aquatic animals is an emerging area
for research and development, several groups across the world are
working on these aspects, targeting different groups of fishes in
both marine and freshwater ecosystems. Â This collective work
highlights several key and updated recent aspects of different
types of xenobiotics entering aquatic ecosystems, impacts of these
agents on reproductive physiology, developmental biology, breeding
biology, hormonal imbalance, aquatic ecology, and pollution on the
aquatic ecosystem. The unique aggregation of different types of
stressors to aquatic animals under a single volume will be a useful
reference for readers, including scientists, teachers, students,
researchers and policymakers and those involved in aquaculture and
environment conservation.

Honey is a supersaturated solution of sugar made by bees. Honeybees
collect a liquid secretion from flowers, called nectar, and take
this back to their hives. It is an appreciated natural gift to
humanity derived entirely from honeybees. Honey is the by-product
of nectar collected by bees from the flowers, with some digestive
enzymes produced by the honeybees themselves. Honey: A Miraculous
Product of Nature summarizes the current status of honey, it's uses
and related aspects. This illustrated volume describes use of honey
in traditional medicines, i.e. Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani by
acting as a preservative and nourishing agent. Also, other
properties like digestibility, palatability, deliciousness,
refreshing, thirst quencher, stomachic, anti-obtrusive,
expectorant, anti-oxidative, anti-tussive and blood purifier are
explained in beautiful manner. The role of honey in improving
eyesight, strengthens gums and teeth and it's use in jaundice,
spleen enlargement, sore throat, chest diseases, sexual debility,
renal and cystic calculi, intestinal worms, heart diseases and
leprosy is very well described. The compiled knowledge from range
of bee scientists, Honey: A Miraculous Product of Nature aims to
provide broad knowledge on honey to the researchers, apiculturists
and students to continue their work on honey and honeybees.
