In the modern context global fish consumption is increasing. However, unlike our other staples, until a few years back the greater proportion of our fish supplies were of a hunted origin. This scenario is changing and a greater proportion of fish we consume now is of farmed origin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAquaculture, the farming of waters, is thought to have originated in China, many millennia ago. Nevertheless, it transformed into a major food sector only since the second half of the last century, and continues to forge ahead, primarily in the developing world. China leads the global aquaculture production in volume, in the number of species that are farmed, and have contributed immensely to transforming the practices from an art to a science.\u003c\/p\u003e This book attempts \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors xxix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xxxvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xxxix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xli\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 1 Notable Developments in Chinese Aquaculture in the Past Few Decades 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Contribution of Chinese Aquaculture to the Sector, Globally, and to Overall Food Security 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJiansan Jia, Weiming Miao, Junning Cai, and Xinhua Yuan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Inland Aquaculture: Trends and Prospects 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eZhongjie Li, Jiashou Liu, Qidong Wang, and Sena S.
