Book Description
Fluctuations and declines in marine fish populations have caused growing concern among marine scientists, fisheries managers, commercial and recreational fishers, and the public. Sustaining Marine Fisheries explores the nature of marine ecosystems and the complex interacting factors that shape their productivity. The book documents the condition of marine fisheries today, highlighting species and geographic areas that are under particular stress. Challenges to achieving sustainability are discussed, and shortcomings of existing fisheries management and regulation are examined. The volume calls for fisheries management to adopt a broader ecosystem perspective that encompasses all relevant environmental and human influences. Sustaining Marine Fisheries offers new approaches to building workable fisheries management institutions, improving scientific data, and developing management tools. The book recommends ways to change current practices that encourage overexploitation of fish resources. It will be of special interest to marine policymakers and ecologists, fisheries regulators and managers, fisheries scientists and marine ecologists, fishers, and concerned individuals.

Book Description
Fish have been a major component of our diet and it has been suggested that fish/seafood consumption contributed to the development of the human brain, and this together with the acquisition of bipedalism, perhaps made us what we are. In the modern context global fish consumption is increasing. However, unlike our other staples, until a few years back the greater proportion of our fish supplies were of a hunted origin. This scenario is changing and a greater proportion of fish we consume now is of farmed origin. Aquaculture, the farming of waters, is thought to have originated in China, many millennia ago. Nevertheless, it transformed into a major food sector only since the second half of the last century, and continues to forge ahead, primarily in the developing world. China leads the global aquaculture production in volume, in the number of species that are farmed, and have contributed immensely to transforming the practices from an art to a science. This book attempts to capture some of the key elements and practices that have contributed to the success of Chinese aquaculture. The book entails contributions from over 100 leading experts in China, and provides insights into some aquaculture practices that are little known to the rest of the world. This book will be essential reading for aquaculturists, practitioners, researchers and students, and planners and developers.

Book Description
A Major Reason For Decline In Fish Productivity Has Been Overcrowding Of Mechanised Crafts And Absence Of Extension Of Exploitable Zone. Effective Inland Water Fisheries Through Aquaculture And Pisciculture Could Supplement The Marine Catch But The Total Catch Would Be Far Less Than The Demand. This Book Attempts To Evaluate Marine Fisheries And Aquaculture And The Role Of Institutions And The Actors In Sustaining The Required Fish Productivity Level. The Papers Include Economics Of Mechanised And Non-Mechanised Boats In Pondicherry And Karnataka, Marine Fishermen Cooperative Societies In Kerala, Inland Pisciculture And Fishermen Cooperatives In West Bengal And Uttar Pradesh. Though There Are Other Areas To Cover, The Papers Make An Attempt In Presenting Information Which Otherwise Is Lacking In The Growing Field Of Fisheries And Its Impact On Rural Development. Contents Chapter 1: Fisheries Development: An Introduction By S Giriappa; Chapter 2: Economics Of Mechanised Boats And Motorised Crafts By P Ibrahim And Stanley D Silva; Chapter 3: Performance Of Mechanised And Non-Mechanised Boats: A Case Study In Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka By S Giriappa; Chapter 4: Socio-Economic Impact Of Fisheries Development In Karnataka: An Analysis By Ramchandra Bhatta; Chapter 5: Impact Of Fisheries Technology On Fisherwomen By M Muktha Shet; Chapter 6: Marine Fishermen Cooperatives In Kerala By Katar Singh; Chapter 7: Fish Marketing Through Cooperatives: A Study Of West Bengal By Debabrata Lahiri; Chapter 8: Scope And Constraints Of Inland Pisciculture In West Bengal: A Case Study In Birbhum District By Kazi M B Rahim And Mahesh Padhy; Chapter 9: Prospective Of Fisheries In Rural Development By C S Singh And Malobica Das.

Book Description
Coastal farming and ocean ranching of marine fish, shellfish, crustaceans, and seaweed are a major and growing industry worldwide. In the United States, freshwater aquaculture is rapidly becoming a significant commercial activity; however, marine aquaculture has lagged behind. This book examines the obstacles to developing marine aquaculture in the United States and offers specific recommendations for technology and policy strategies to encourage this industry. The volume provides a wealth of information on the status of marine aquacultureâ€"including comparisons between U.S. and foreign approaches to policy and technology and of the diverse species under culture. Marine Aquaculture also describes problems of coordination of regulatory policy among various federal, state, and local government agencies and escalating competition for the use of coastal waters. It addresses environmental concerns and suggests engineering and research strategies for alleviating negative impacts from marine aquaculture operations.
