The total aquaculture production has expanded tremendously and contributes to the worlds supply of fish for human consumption in an expanding significant way. In Intensive aquaculture, the fish are quite dependent on the feed artificially provided, and the water need to be replaced or replenished at very high rates so that it can maintain the amounts of oxygen to be enough and to also remove the waste. A variety of important institutional and technological requirements depend on the ability to operate a sustainable and economic viable aquaculture. The United Nations estimates that roughly 32 of worldwide fish numbers are overexploited, depleted or recuperating and must be urgently restored. Fish farming is welcomed as a strategy to prevent overfishing. This book presents some advantages and disadvantages of intensive aquaculture, in addition to provide data and the currently situation of this type of cultivation.

The aquaculture sector has a lot to add towards achieving the SDGs, especially SDG 14 which involves conserving and economically utilizing the seas, oceans and marine rsources for sustainability. Aquaculture keeps on showing the huge success in providing food, sustenance and work. This book shows the significant challenges ahead in spite of the advancement made on various fronts. For instance, there is developing proof that when fisheries are appropriately overseen, stocks are reliably above target levels, offering validity to the fishery stakeholders and governments all throughout the planet. Notwithstanding, the book likewise shows that the victories accomplished in certain nations have not been adequate to invert the global pattern of overfished stocks, demonstrating that in places where fishery boards arent set up, or are insufficient, the fish stocks become poor and weakened. This calls for new components to help in the viable execution of strategy and the guidelines for sustainable fisheries and environments, as there is no lone answer for guaranteeing fisheries stock throughout the planet.

Atomic genetic strategy in fisheries is to use acquired, distinct and stable markers to distinguish genotypes among fish populations or species. This strategies can provide data on the level of genetic variability and circulation based on mating design, life history, stock size, movement and climate. This volume mentions several atomic devices and strategies that have been used on fisheries to solve different problems for research, and improve the fish production. It is very important to research about the molecular genetics in fisheries, to the production continues to growth. Also, severeal strategies that have been used in aquaculture production chain are already showing the importance of genetic knowledge to improve the yield in a sustainable manner. This volume summarizes the progress and some applications of molecular technology in a wide range of options in fisheries.

Examines various aspects of fisheries management. The book covers management techniques, processes involved, the benefits of different kinds of techniques, and the challenges involved.

Discusses contemporary issues affecting global fish populations. The book describes inadequate conservation measures, jurisdictional disputes and illegal fishing vessels as some of the issues that threaten fish stocks.

Provides an introduction to marine ecosystems and explains their importance. The covers the functioning of marine ecosystems and lists various dynamic changes. Also discussed are the various natural products that are derived from marine ecosystems, and innovative methods for the restoration of marine ecosystems.

Introduces the concept of rural aquaculture. The book provides information about the concepts and approaches of aquaculture technologies and business planning and management for small-scale sustainable aquaculture.

Provides an introduction to aquaculture, and discusses the various applications of the microarray. The book explains the convergence of aquaculture and molecular biology and defines the polymerase chain reaction by stating its principles and components.

Provides insights climate change and aquaculture. The book discusses global fish production and marine environment and climate change. It also provides information about the management of fisheries and governance challenges in a climate change, and climate change adaptations in fisheries and aquaculture.
