Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardbound. Mussels, of the genus Mytilus are among the commonest of marine molluscs and constitute an important element in the ecology of coastal waters. The mussel's sessile habit makes it suited to cultivation and as filter-feeder an effective concentrator of trace toxic substances. They are thus excellent biomonitoring organisms of coastal water quality. The mussel has been extensively used in experimental studies and a vast body of data on its use in fundamental physiological, biochemical, genetic and toxicological investigations is available. More recently this knowledge has extended into the newer fields of nutrition, environmental monitoring, toxicology, disease, population genetics and biotechnology. This book presents a thorough compilation of state-of-the-art information on mussels in the form of critical review papers written by leading authorities in the field. For workers involved in both research and practical aspects of the biology

This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of four years Ph.D. research on the green mussel Perna viridis (Linnaeus 1758) from the high spat-fall coastal waters of Malacca, Peninsular Malaysia. Marine mussels form one of the most dominant cultivable species all over the world. They provide the highest conversion of primary producers (phytoplankton) to human food as a low-priced source of animal protein. Perna viridis occurs widely in shallow waters along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia allowing mussel seeds to be readily available for culture practice. Most of the previous studies tackling the collection of wild mussel seeds for aquaculture have concluded their findings based on few culture experiments, plankton and spat collection only. The finding of this book provides information on accurate determination of the dynamics of the gonadal development through histology, condition index, dynamics of the spat fall densities, population dynamics and growth rates of Perna viridis in the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The book is aimed as a technical reference for decision makers, fisheries resource managers, researches, professional and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As traditional commercial fishing becomes increasingly expensive and restrictive, aquacultural fish production emerges as a practical viable alternative. The Aquaculture Sourcebook is an introductory text and ready reference for information on the fresh-, brackish-, and salt-water farming of both fish and shellfish, as well as of several important algae. Until now, such material has been available only in scattered publications; but the Aquaculture Sourcebook incorporates all the feasibility data pertinent to farming aquacultural species in North America into one easy-to-use text. It will be welcomed not only by current and future aquaculturists, but also by fisheries, seafood company managers, biologists, teachers, and students. The Aquaculture Sourcebook has been designed to satisfy the needs of fisheries, scientists, and commercial aquaculturists by providing, in a handy and well-organized format, information vital for successful North American aquacultural ventures. Concise details are given for over a hundred individual speices, including not only those raised for human consumption, but also organisms reared for feed, bait, or other purposes. Each entry in this valuable volume covers such relevant material as: *the scientific and common names of the organism *its visual appearance and distinctive characteristics *habitat range specifications *species reproduction and development *age- and growth-related factors *specific parasites an diseases *potential predators and/or competitive species *its prospects for future aquacultural success Key groups of closely related species are discussed in a geographical context, highlighting areas which each will find the habitat best for its survival. Great care has been taken to specify ranges of tolerable salinity and optimum temperature for candidate species, and emphasis has been placed on creating aquacultural environments that replicate those normally habitated in nature. Comprehensive, informative, and accessible to layperson and scientist alike, the Aqualculture Sourcebook is both the perfect desktop reference for anyone establishing an aquacultural facility, and a ready reference to help maintain one.

Download or read book Operational and Environmental Consequences of Large Industrial Cooling Water Systems written by Sanjeevi Rajagopal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-06 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of water for industrial purposes is of foremost importance. It is used as a coolant and industrial activities dealing with power generation, steel and iron, paper and pulp and oil require very large amounts of water. The industry, therefore, resorts to large scale abstraction of water from natural water bodies. This water is often treated with chemicals to combat operational problems like biofouling and corrosion. Such withdrawal and subsequent discharge of large amounts of water have the potential to impart significant impact on the recipient water body. The organisms drawn along with the cooling water, as well as those residing at the discharge zone, are subjected to a combination of mechanical, thermal and chemical stress on a continuous basis.
