John Wiley and Sons Ltd Seamounts
Book SynopsisSeamounts are ubiquitous undersea mountains rising from the ocean seafloor that do not reach the surface. There are likely many hundreds of thousands of seamounts, they are usually formed from volcanoes in the deep sea and are defined by oceanographers as independent features that rise to at least 0.5 km above the seafloor, although smaller features may have the same origin. This book follows a logical progression from geological and physical processes, ecology, biology and biogeography, to exploitation, management and conservation concerns. In 21 Chapters written by 57 of the world's leading seamount experts, the book reviews all aspects of their geology, ecology, biology, exploitation, conservation and management. In Section I of this book, several detection and estimation techniques for tallying seamounts are reviewed, along with a history of seamount research. This book represents a unique and fresh synthesis of knowledge of seamounts and their biota and is an essenTrade Review"This book is a very important contribution to the seamount field and I feel safe in predicting that it will be valuable resource for researchers and stakeholders for many years to come."

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Governing Oceans in a Time of Change: Fishing for
Book SynopsisThis incisive book addresses the challenges facing the current institutional framework for governance of high seas fisheries. Marcus Haward identifies significant issues and difficulties affecting the management of fisheries in areas beyond national jurisdiction, as well as highlighting the key role that fishing and fisheries play in global ocean governance. Through an assessment of the development of regional fisheries organizations and their implementation of management tools, Haward demonstrates their importance in contemporary ocean governance, offering a critical examination of the challenges they face in the pursuit of sustainable fisheries management. The book investigates the ability of regional fisheries bodies to constrain catches and capacity, and explores the factors impacting this, for example, states' lack of cooperation and failure to commit to effective enforcement, and conflicting interests in resource utilization and conservation. Governing Oceans in a Time of Change will prove a critical read for scholars and students of environmental policy, management and governance, particularly those with an interest in ocean governance and fisheries. Policymakers and practitioners working in this area will also find this book beneficial.Trade Review‘For readers familiar with the topic, this book offers a novel angle on the analysis of RFMOs’ effectiveness and performance, one that relies on variables and criteria that cover substantive, procedural and institutional aspects of governance. This is what distinguishes this book from other legal studies on fisheries management. While the author recognises that there is no “one best way” for management and governance, it is definitely the acknowledgement of the complex nature of fisheries that is the key for improved solutions and outcomes. This book participates in the exploration of the possible ways for fisheries organisations to address long-lasting challenges that are re-shaped in the time of change we find ourselves in.’ -- Catherine Blanchard, The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law'A perfect blend of historical, theoretical and practical perspectives on international fisheries and ocean governance. This book offers masterful critiques of how ecosystem and precautionary approaches are being implemented in four regions of the world - the Northeast Atlantic, Western and Central Pacific, the Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean. Haward provides a comprehensive guide on the many ways to assess the effectiveness of regional fisheries management organizations including their struggles to address climate change and to protect marine biodiversity.' --David VanderZwaag, Marine and Environmental Law Institute, Dalhousie University, CanadaRegional fisheries regimes constitute a distinct class of governance systems. But, increasingly, they interact with regimes dealing with shipping, marine mammals, seabirds, deep seabed mining, pollutants, and marine protected areas as well as with global arrangements addressing climate change and the loss of biodiversity. To understand the resultant institutional interplay, we need a conceptually sophisticated and descriptively rich account of the performance of fisheries regimes. Bringing to bear a combination of theoretical concepts, up-to-date quantitative data, and suitable case studies, Marcus Haward provides the most informed assessment of regional fisheries regimes available today.' --Oran R.

New India Publishing Agency Advances in Harvest and Postharvest Technology of Fish
Book SynopsisIn recent years India has made notable advances in the fisheries. Progresses made in refinements of vessels, new line materials and line-handling systems, preserving the catch, the availability of oceanographic-sensor equipments and the utilization of satellite technology to locate potential fishing grounds have greatly improved the fishing power of longline vessels. Post harvest technology of fish has evolved in the last one decade to a more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and quality upgrading technology. Since fresh fish can get spoiled very quickly, the development of technology for post-harvest preservation and methodology to convert fish to value added products have also become popular in recent times. Value addition helps in getting high price for the fishery products. There is a need to develop competent human resources in the field of post harvest management of fish and production of value added products from them. It is required to inculcate vocational and entrepreneurial skills in order to widen employment opportunities, particularly among rural youth and the disadvantaged sections of the society as well as to enable self employment.Table of Contents01: Recent Advances in Fishing Craft Technology by Latha Shenoy -02: Technologies for Responsible Fishing by M.R.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Unravelling Supply Chain Networks of Fisheries in
Book SynopsisThis book on the fisheries sector in India, through primary surveys as well as secondary literature, brings out various nuances of the sector and its trade opportunities, the complexities surrounding the supply chain of fish, as well as the evolution of its marketing channels. A distinctive feature of this book is that it carries out a comprehensive mapping of the fisheries supply chain, by taking into account both marine and freshwater fish. It identifies various players, especially traders who take part in the product flow, irrespective of the impact each of them has on the value provided to the end customer. While members of the supply chain include all individuals or organisations between whom interaction takes place, directly or indirectly from the point of production to consumption, this study also distinguishes between primary and peripheral members to make a complex network more manageable. Moreover, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the emerging marketing channels- both organised and unorganised- in this highly perishable food segment. It provides important insights into the current scenario, focusing on the emergence of newer forms of marketing such as multinationals and e-retailing, while highlighting how traditional forms such as ‘mom-and-pop’ shops have continued to sustain, despite the challenges they face. The findings from India are also compared to global experiences of other fish producing and exporting countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Thailand to offer a comparison of the differences and similarities in the supply chains of various countries. The book provides important takeaways for researchers and PhD scholars working in the area of fisheries as well as supply chains. Since this book is based on field visits to different parts of the country it brings out the ground realities along with interesting insights and important policy implications for the sector, and should, therefore, appeal to policymakers as well.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- A Brief Review of Literature- International and Indian.- Fisheries Sector in India - An Overview.- International Trade in Fisheries: India and its Global Partners.- Study Area and Methodology.
