About this book
The relationships between the activities of aquaculture and the environment are of economic importance as well as of scientific interest and, for these reasons, a large international research community has developed over the past decade. In this volume, the resultant research is synthesised and critically reviewed, providing a source of reference to the most important recent developments at research and professional level. The first part of the volume is organised in terms of the major culture types. This is followed by chapters of general relevance to aquaculture.
