Tropical
Mariculture takes an in-depth
look at developmental activities in a
growing industry striving towards
sustainability and environmental
integrity. All of the contributors to
this book have considerable experience
and expertise in the field of tropical
mariculture, and this is the first book
to bring expert contributions together.
The topics covered are wide and varied,
ranging from general issues such as the
impact of mariculture on coastal
ecosystems to genetic improvement of
cultured marine species, as well as the
specifics of breeding selected marine
species of current importance, such as
groupers and sea bass. Significant
coverage is also given to the problems
of larval rearing in inland aquaculture
as well as the demands of water- and
land-based resources in a tropical
environment. This book will be essential
for everyone working in and researching
tropical mariculture.
