Modern Fisheries Engineering
Modern Fisheries Engineering: Realizing a Healthy and Sustainable Marine Ecosystem is a compendium of the latest and most cutting-edge information on the diversity of technical aspects associated with Fisheries Engineering. Expanding on presentations given at the International Conference on Fisheries Engineering (ICFE) held in Nagasaki in 2019, it aims to encourage and inspire future generations of young researchers in the field. Topics include artificial reefs, ocean ranching, fishing gear deve...
Das Plankton ist die am weitesten verbreitete Lebensgemeinschaft der Erde. Seine Bedeutung für die Wasserqualität und als Nahrungsbasis für die Fischerei ist unbestritten. Das vorliegende Lehrbuch stellt erstmals alle Aspekte der Planktologie zusammenfassend dar, von einer taxonomischen Übersicht über die physikalische und chemische Beschreibung des Lebensraums, die Funktionsmorphologie, Ernährungsphysiologie und Populationsökologie bis hin zur Bedeutung des Planktons im aquatischen Ökosystem u...
An introduction to the many living things, from microscopic plants to huge sharks, that live in the ocean and discusses the importance of oceans to life on earth.

Aquatic Geomicrobiology (Advances in Marine Biology)
by Donald E Canfield, Erik Kristensen, and Bo Thamdrup
Microbes catalyze countless chemical reactions in nature which control the chemistry of the environment. Aquatic Geomicrobiology looks at these reactions and their effect on the aquatic environments from the perspective of the microbes involved. The volume begins with three introductory chapters outlining the basic principles of microbial systematics, microbial ecology, and chemical thermodynamics. These provide a framework for exploring the microbial control of elemental cycling in the remainin...
The Galapagos Marine Reserve (Social and Ecological Interactions in the Galapagos Islands)
This book focuses on how marine systems respond to natural and anthropogenic perturbations (ENSO, overfishing, pollution, tourism, invasive species, climate-change). Authors explain in their chapters how this information can guide management and conservation actions to help orient and better manage, restore and sustain the ecosystems services and goods that are derived from the ocean, while considering the complex issues that affect the delicate nature of the Islands. This book will contribute t...
‘A remarkable and powerful book, the rarest of things … Nicolson is unique as a writer … I loved it’ EDMUND DE WAAL ‘Miraculous … An utterly fascinating glimpse of a watery world we only thought we knew’ PHILIP HOARE Few places are as familiar as the shore – and few as full of mystery and surprise. How do sandhoppers inherit an inbuilt compass from their parents? How do crabs understand the tides? How can...
Oceanography of the East Sea (Japan Sea)
This book reviews the research in various fields of oceanography on the responses of the East Japan Sea to climate change. The uniqueness of the East Japan Sea comes from the rapid and amplified response to climate change, which includes long-terms trends of physical and chemical parameters at a rate that almost doubles or even higher the global rate. This book aims to provide in an organized way the results from the previously published knowledge but also to introduce an updated view of the res...
Basic and Applied Phytoplankton Biology
This book presents the latest developments and recent research trends in the field of plankton, highlighting the potential ecological and biotechnological applications. It critically and comprehensively discusses strain selection, growth characteristics, large-scale culturing, and biomass harvesting, focusing on the screening and production of high-value products from algae, and evaluating carbon dioxide sequestration from fuel gas as a climate change mitigation strategy. The latter areas of res...
Habitats and Biota of the Gulf of Mexico: Before the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. The Gulf of Mexico is an open and dynamic marine ecosystem rich in natural resources but heavily impacted by human activities, including agricultural, industrial, commercial and coastal development. The Gulf of Mexico has been continuously exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons for millions of years from natural oil and gas seeps on the sea floor, and more recently from oil drilling and production activities located in the water near and far fro...
Key features:Takes a quantitative approach to the science of aquacultureCovers the complete landscape of the scientific basis of fish culturePromotes problem solving and critical thinkingIncludes sample problems at the end of most chaptersGuides the reader through the technical considerations of intensive aquaculture, including fish growth rates, hydraulic characteristics of fish rearing units, oxygen consumption rates in relation to oxygen solubility and fish tolerance of hypoxia, and water rec...
Who hasn't fantasized about the unique thrill of working among charismatic and clever dolphins in the wild? We need not live this solely in our imaginations anymore. With "Dolphin Confidential" Maddalena Bearzi invites all of us shore-bound dreamers to join her and travel alongside the dolphins. In this fascinating account, she takes us inside the world of a marine scientist and offers a firsthand understanding of marine mammal behavior, as well as the frustrations, delights, and creativity that...

The 2007-2012 World Outlook for Carbon Steel Light Structural Bars Measuring Less Than 3 Inches
by Philip M. Parker
Ecohydrology describes and provides a synthesis of the different disciplines required to understand the sustainable management of water in the environment in order to tackle issues such as dryland salinity and environmental water allocation. It will provide in the one volume, the fundamentals of plant ecophysiology, hydrology and ecohydrology as they relate to this topic. For the sustainable management of water in Australia and elsewhere, this important reference work will assist land managers,...
