  • Applied Advanced Technologies in Marine Fish Aquaculture

    • 1st Edition
    • Daniel Benetti
    • English
    Applied Advanced Technologies in Marine Fish Aquaculture provides detailed overviews on the most advanced technologies for full-cycle production of marine fish, from hatchery to market. The book describes original technical protocols that were improved over the years to assist the reader in all stages of aquaculture projects development, from inception to operation, at both research and commercial scales.Professor Daniel Benetti conveys here all his extensive and successful experience working with dozens of commercially important marine fish species in several countries throughout the world. He addresses all basic and applied aspects of marine fish aquaculture, presenting the most advanced methods and protocols for all stages of the production cycle, from broodstock reproduction and management to spawning, larval rearing and early developmental stages including nursery and growout methods.Applied Advanced Technologies in Marine Fish Aquaculture is innovative as it takes a practical, applied approach of merging science and technology of tropical and subtropical marine fish aquaculture into a state-of-the-art compendium with detailed guidelines that will serve as seminal reference for students, researchers, managers, investors, consultants, government officers and other professionals working in the field worldwide

  • Food and Consumer Behavior

    A Comprehensive Reference
    • 1st Edition
    • Herbert L. Meiselman
    • English
    What and how we eat has big implications for our health, our society and the environment. Therefore, it is crucial that we understand what people eat, the reasons why people eat the way they do, and how we can best change food consumer practices. Food is the biggest business in the world, but until recently the emphasis has been on food science and technology (the food product) and not on the food consumer. But there has been a lot of progress in the past 10-20 years on consumer research for foods. There is currently no reference that pulls together these developments. Food and Consumer Behavior: A Comprehensive Reference will emphasise methods for studying consumer responses to foods. The book will also emphasise cross-cultural approaches to studying consumer food behaviour, with the goal of extending the field to all parts of the globe, including Asia and Africa.
