Request a sales quoteAbalone: Biology, Ecology, Aquaculture and Fisheries, Volume 42 in the Developments in Aquaculture and Fisheries Science series, describes the taxonomy of more than 50 abalone species worldwide. The content contains information on the biology, physiology and ecology of each species as well as reproduction, genetics, diseases and parasites. It includes abalone fisheries in different parts of the world, detailing abalone aquaculture in China, Japan, Korea, Australia, Europe and Western North America. This reference takes a comprehensive approach to understanding overall shellfish management, making it valuable to fisheries, marine biologists and researchers studying shellfish, aquaculture and the ocean environment.
This will also be a great resource for government and academia professionals interested in aquaculture and fisheries and their sustainable futures.
- Includes the newest information on diseases and parasites, marine contaminants, genetics, population dynamics and more, with extensive reference lists provided for each chapter
- Addresses the full scope of aquaculture expansion and issues surrounding sustainability and production and the newest observations in marine contaminants and effects on abalone production
- Includes the most recent advances in research and the newest developments in industry by top world experts
Fisheries, marine biologists, and researchers studying shellfish, aquaculture, and the ocean environment
