Book Description
SEAFOOD Ecolabelling Principles and Practice Edited by Trevor Ward and Bruce Phillips In recent years there have been some major developments and agreatly increased recognition of the importance of more sustainableand environmentally-friendly fishing and fish-farming methods.Various types of seafood eco-endorsements have been introduced, andthese initiatives have now blossomed into an extensive range oftypes of product endorsement labels and systems. This volume comprehensively reviews the current eco-endorsementsystems for seafood products, described in four main sections withcontributions by leading experts from around the globe: • A full description of the background and history ofecolabels, ratings, guides and choice systems • Seafood evaluation and certification, including issues ofquality, costs and benefits • Highly significant case studies in the use of ecolabels,including details of programs undertaken with species such asPollock, Baja Red Spiny Lobster, and Patagonian Toothfish • The future of sustainable seafood Seafood Ecolabelling is an essential purchase for all thoseinvolved in fisheries and aquaculture management and productcertification and ecolabelling throughout the world. Professionalsincluding fishery scientists and managers, fish farm managers,marine biologists, environmental biologists, conservationbiologists, ecologists, natural resource managers, civil societyand sustainability governance practitioners, and resource andenvironmental economists will find this book to be extremelyvaluable. Professionals involved in the seafood trade, includingthose in production, packaging, reselling and seafood productlabelling, will find a great deal of commercial interest withinthis book. Libraries in all universities and researchestablishments where biological sciences, food science andfisheries are studied and taught should have copies of thisimportant book on their shelves.

Biology and Ecology of Groupers
Author: Fabiana Cézar Félix-Hackradt
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351645153
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Groupers are fascinating charismatic fishes commonly found in reef habitats around the world that sustain a global multimillionaire fishery. They are an important top predator species and therefore of paramount ecological importance for reef systems' resilience. The book, Biology and Ecology of Groupers is an up-to-date review of the main bio-ecological topics involving worldwide groupers species oriented to the academic community and managers. It covers aspects of classification and phylogenetic relationships, geographical distribution, and life history related characteristics (Section I), including the major threats of groupers populations, case studies of successful management and comments about the future of groupers in our changing world (Section II).

Book Description
"Beyond previous more simplistic approaches, this book takes a giant step towards understanding and translating into people-centered policies the actual position and complexity of fish production in Southeast Asian economies. Tackling how fi sheries and aquaculture are embedded in local and household economies and linked through dynamic supply chains to more distant, even global markets, the book makes essential policy and analytical recommendations. SEARCA and ISEAS have made a major contribution to the intellectual debate and action agenda for Southeast Asian fisheries."

Book Description
This study brings together the work of many researchers to arrive at suggestions for solving the environmental problems caused by the long-running live-fish trade in Southeast Asia. With strong demand coming from mainland China, this trade has caused rampant over-fishing in Asia and consequent damage to outside subsistence or commercial fisheries. This work discusses the role of regional organizations in regulating the trade as well as ways to decrease nontarget fish mortality in an industry that often employs cyanide solution as a fishing tool.
