Progressive Engineering Practices in Marine Resource Management
Author: Zlateva, IvelinaPublisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1466683341
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
There is overwhelming evidence that marine resources are being overexploited throughout the world. In an effort to conserve the natural resources of the world’s oceans, new methods, technologies, and practices in fishery and marine resource management must be implemented. Progressive Engineering Practices in Marine Resource Management combines scientific, ecological, and engineering approaches involved in the sustainable management of natural resources. Featuring coverage on key topics relating to environmental management, maritime spatial planning, sustainable fisheries, and waste water treatment, this publication is a critical reference source for fishery associations, scientists, environmental management authorities, and water management directorates interested in emerging technologies and innovative resource management techniques.
The economics of biological invasions
Author: Charles Perrings, Silvana Dalmazzone, Mark Herbert WilliamsonPublisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1781008647
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
'An interesting book catering perhaps for a more specific audience. It does however provide a somewhat new view of the problems of the field of biological invasions and is worth the effort.' - Ann Sundqvist, M2 Best Books 'Once again, Charles Perrings and colleagues have broken new ground by applying economic and ecological analysis to the very real problem of biological invasions. This is path-breaking work in what promises to be a new sub-discipline within environmental economics.' - David Pearce, University College London, UK Biological invasions - the introduction of living organisms beyond their original range - are one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss. They are a major threat to human health and a source of pests and pathogens in the world's farms, forests and fisheries. The growth of international trade and travel means that more species are being introduced to more places than ever before. This book represents the first concerted effort to understand the economic causes and consequences of biological invasions. The volume discusses the theoretical and methodological issues raised by invasion, including control strategies, modelling options, and a study of the economic, institutional and policy conditions that predispose countries to biological invasions. Also included are case studies of fisheries, agricultural systems, tropical forests and protected areas affected by invasive species in locations such as the Black Sea, Australia and Africa, and an evaluation of control programmes.

Ecosystem Effects of Fishing in the Mediterranean
Author: Sergi TudelaPublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9789251051924
Category : Biodiversity
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
Most of the major impacts of fishing on the ecosystems recorded around the world occur in the Mediterranean. This variety of interactions is due to four main interrelated factors: the wide range of fishing gear and practices; very intensive fishing; a high diversity of exploited habitats, ranging from shallow water to the deep-sea and oceanic domain; and high biological diversity.
Interactions Between Aquaculture and Capture Fisheries

ISBN: 9789251053782
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Explores the main issues dealing with interactions between aquaculture and capture fisheries using the existing knowledge at Adriatic basin level. Includes discussions of: local fishing communities (i.e. competition for coastal area use), the impact of aquaculture on local aquatic resources (i.e. genetic pollution, exotic species introduction, pathology spreads), market competition, quality of product, mechanisms to control and prevent competition as well as existing agreements. Also incoudes three case studies on blue fin tuna, eel and shellfish culture.
