Springer Verlag, Singapore Outlook of Climate Change and Fish Nutrition
Book SynopsisThe edited book covers the climate change impact broadly across the ecosystems including increasing pressure on livelihood and food supplies to the society. Climate change, in particular, rising temperatures, can have both direct and indirect effects on global fish production. Fisheries and aquaculture is one of the important sectors of agriculture for livelihood and nutritional security. Fish, being poikilothermic in nature are very sensitive to any change in the ecosystem. In commercial aquaculture, it is crucial to ensure that environmental rearing conditions are adequate, if not optimal, for fish growth, welfare and profitability. Thus, the book develops an understanding regarding changes in relevant environmental parameters and its affect in the growth and physiological performance of fish. Fish feeds on natural food organisms, but the adverse changes in the ecosystem attracts nutritionists to provide better food and feeding strategies for optimum growth and survival of the fish. it is become necessary to develop preparedness about the changes and their mitigation strategies through fish nutrition and feeding strategies. This book addresses the potential impact of climate change on the aquaculture sector under sections - Assessment of Global Warming Impact on aquatic resources and fish production, Adaptation in Fish Digestive Physiology and Biochemistry under Changing Environment, Prioritization of fish feed technology with respect to changing climate for adaptation and mitigation, Strategies and planning on reproductive physiology and feed management for biodiversity conservation. The chapters are contributed by the experts in the field of fish nutrition and physiology. The book assists fish farmers, entrepreneurs, planners and advisors specifically related to nutritional and physico-biochemical changes in fishes to adapt or mitigate the adverse effect of climate change.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Women in Field Biology
Book SynopsisWomen are contributing to disciplines once the sole domain of men. Field biology has been no different. The history of women field biologists, embedded in a history largely made and recorded by men, has never been written. Compilations of biographies have been assembled, but the narrativetheir storyhas never been told. In part, this is because many expressed their passion for nature as writers, artists, collectors, and educators during eras when women were excluded from the male-centric world of natural history and science. The history of women field biologists is intertwined with men's changing views of female intellect and with increasing educational opportunities available to women. Given the preponderance of today's professional female ecologists, animal behaviorists, systematists, conservation biologists, wildlife biologists, restoration ecologists, and natural historians, it is time to tell this storythe challenges and hardships they faced and still face, and the prominent rolTable of ContentsPreamble Section 1: Historical Perspective Chapter 1: Introduction Origins: Europe Origins: North America Chapter 2: Pre-1880 (Late Age of Discovery)EuropeNorth America Chapter 3: 1880 to 1916 (Gilded Age)Chapter 4: 1917 to 1945 (War and Interwar Years) The Chicago plant ecologists The Chicago animal ecologists The Nebraska/Minnesota plant ecologists The Wisconsin limnologists The Cornell legacy Elsewhere in the United States Chapter 5: 1945 to 1972 (Postwar Years)Chapter 6: 1972 to Present (Civil Rights Era)Section 2: Current Perspectives 8.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Minorities in Shark Sciences
Book SynopsisMinorities in Shark Sciences showcases the work done by Black, Indigenous and People of Color around the world in the fields of shark science and conservation. Edited by three minority researchers, it provides positive role models for the next generation. Highlighting new and important research done in the fields of biology, ecology, and evolution, the book places emphasis on scientists with diverse backgrounds and expertise from around the world. The heart of this book is that community and minority voices are important (and have always been) to science regardless of diplomas/universities/accolades/western standards of academia. Despite the use of the term Minorities', most of the world's population do not identify as white nor male, and in fact all minorities together comprise the global majority of humans. For those in these historically underserved and underrepresented demographics, it is meaningful to be highlighted and be given credit for their contributions. TTrade Review"The diversity of authors in each chapter provides a fresh, inclusive, and global perspective to shark biology. I could envision teaching a course on sharks from this book – it covers the "required" topics and more importantly, highlights the scientists doing this work."Sora Lee Kim, Assistant Professor, Life and Environmental Sciences, University of California Merced, USA"This book will change your perspective of sharks, with easy-to-understand science and facts." Alex R, high school student, USA"I really enjoyed learning more details about sharks and the people who study and understand them. This book is a great place to start for anyone who wants to learn about sharks and why they are very important to the ocean. I like how the authors are introduced before each chapter. I was able to learn more about each person and how they study sharks. The keywords in each chapter helped me to learn new vocabulary"Addison W, age 13, USA"This topic, other than what I have heard Addison talk about, is completely new to me and I learned so much.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs
Book SynopsisGrowth and Decay of Coral Reefs: Fifty Years of Learning describes how coral reefs have alternately flourished and declined over the last 50 years and the dynamics of these changes. The study is based on recordings at 30 different locations along the Sudanese coast, visited by the author between 1971 and 1973.Beyond the Red Sea''s desert shores lie some of the richest and most diverse coral reefs on our planet. Over a thousand species of reef fishes, matched by a similar abundance of living corals, creating habitats scientists were only just beginning to understand. The complexity of the inter-relations was truly mesmerizing. A single intervention, such as removal of a key species, could cause the whole community to collapse. Healthy corals were transformed into green weed-smothered reefs, accompanied by the loss of both corals and fish.Based on the author's observations of how knowledge and perspectives have changed over the last 50 years, this book highlighTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Indian Ocean - A Perspective: Volume 1
Book SynopsisThe Indian Ocean represents a part of the global Ocean that has been less studied by modern oceanography than the Atlantic and Pacific parts. This is remarkable, since the Indian Ocean was subject to much historic exploration through navigators from Asia, India, the Middle East and lastly from Europe.This unique, comprehensive reference set on the Indian Ocean, covers all oceanographical aspects with its physics, chemistry, biology and geology in 21 peer-reviewed expert-written chapters. Besides the well-ground basis on the Ocean’s characteristics and a wealth of data, some unique features presented are the monsoon - the biennial reversal of winds and the resultant surface circulation; the tropical and sub-tropical jet streams, namely the Somali current, the Agulhas current and the Leevwin current; the oxygen-poor intermediate waters in its northern part which significantly contribute several green house gases to the atmosphere, for example, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and dimethyl sulphide; its exhaustive coral reefs and mangrove vegetation; and the polymetallic nodules at its depths and its other mineral resources. Moreover, an analysis is provided of the anthropogenic contributions and their impacts on the health of the Indian Ocean; and that of estuary environments of important rivers of the 15 littoral countries. Intended for research scientists, professionals and students working in physical, chemical and geological oceanography.Table of ContentsVolume 1 1. Physical Oceanography 2. The Climate 3.
