The book focuses a realistic and factual account on the resurgence of aquaculture and birth of blue (protein) revolution. The resurgence got a booming start on the success of induced breeding of carps in mid 1957. Thereafter, further research successes gained momentum year after year in the fields of high fish seed production, integrated polyculture hybridization, training of personnel and in various other fields. Bulk impact of benefits from these successes were on the people of India, South and South and Southeast Asia who harvested the successes of induced breeding. These successes of induced breeding. These successes were considered the best research success in the field of Aquaculture in the region. The credit for these successes goes to Prof. Hiralal Chaudhuri the Father of Induced Breeding and the international scientist. As the publisher M/s Daya Publishing House wanted to document the research success of Prof. Chaudhuri specifically the editor prepared this treatise on whatever little documents of Prof. Chaudhuri were available. The professor was averse to publicity, name and fame and in no way connected with this endeavour except that he rather reluctantly permitted to consult his papers. He said the success was due to a teamwork of several aquaculturists. Since various stalwart aqua-culturist s observations have been presented in Chapters 1, 2 and 4 there was no room for the editor to glorify Prof. Chaudhuri s achievements any further.

As the world's demand for food from aquatic environments continues to increase, the importance of performing aquaculture in an environmentally responsible manner also increases. The aim of this important and thought-provoking book is to stimulate discussion among aquaculture's modern scientific, education and extension communities concerning the principles, practices and policies needed to develop ecologically and socially sustainable aquaculture systems worldwide. Ecological Aquaculture provides fascinating and valuable insights into primitive (and often sustainable) culture systems, and ties these to modern large-scale aquaculture systems. The book is edited, and authored to a considerable degree, by Barry Costa-Pierce who has assembled a team of some of the leading thinkers in the field, providing information spanning a spectrum of activities from artisanal to high technology approaches to producing aquatic organisms in a balanced and environmentally-friendly way. Ecological Aquaculture is an essential purchase for all aquaculture personnel involved in commercial, practical and research capacities. Libraries in research establishments and universities where aquaculture, biological, environmental and aquatic sciences are studied and taught should have copies of this book available on their shelves.

Like the Green Revolution of the 1960s, a “Blue Revolution” has taken place in global aquaculture. Geared towards quenching the appetite of privileged consumers in the global North, it has come at a high price for the South: ecological devastation, displacement of rural subsistence farmers, and labour exploitation. The uncomfortable truth is that food security for affluent consumers depends on a foundation of social and ecological devastation in the producing countries. In Confronting the Blue Revolution, Md Saidul Islam uses the shrimp farming industry in Bangladesh and across the global South to show the social and environmental impact of industrialized aquaculture. The book pushes us to reconsider our attitudes to consumption patterns in the developed world, neoliberal environmental governance, and the question of sustainability.

A Blue Revolution: Navigating Aquaculture in a Changing World offers an in-depth exploration of the multifaceted world of aquaculture through a collection of meticulously researched scientific journal articles. This comprehensive compilation dives into various aspects of aquaculture, detailing its significance in the global food supply chain and its dynamic relationship with pressing issues such as climate change, antimicrobial resistance, food security, and technological innovation. Prefaced by an insightful foreword, the book covers a broad spectrum of topics-from the thermal vulnerability of aquatic species and genomic advancements that promise expedited genetic improvements, to the impact of small-scale fish farming on food security in Bolivia, and the assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from aquaculture. It also examines the socio-economic contributions and challenges of tilapia farming in the Solomon Islands, and the potential of smart aquaculture systems leveraging machine learning for better efficiency and precision. Geographically diverse studies such as the mapping of aquaculture areas in China and the role of shellfish aquaculture in global food security further enrich this collection. Whether you are a seasoned researcher, a policymaker, or simply a curious reader, this book serves as both a guide and a call to action, encouraging sustainable practices and innovative solutions for the future of aquaculture. Quality Research Publishing is dedicated to making knowledge more accessible to the general public by curating a topical compilation of the latest research on various subjects and providing plain language summaries.

Keith Culver and David Castle Introduction Aquaculture is at the leading edge of a surprisingly polarized debate about the way we produce our food. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, aquaculture production has increased 8. 8% per year since 1970, far surpassing productivity gains in terrestrial meat production at 2. 8% in the same period (FAO 2007). Like the ‘green revolution’ before it, the ‘blue revolution’ in aquaculture promises rapidly increased productivity through technology-driven - tensi?cation of aquaculture animal and plant production (Costa-Pierce 2002; The Economist 2003). Proponents of further aquaculture development emphasize aq- culture’s ancient origins and potential to contribute to global food security d- ing an unprecedented collapse in global ?sheries (World Fish Center; Meyers and Worm 2003; Worm et al. 2006). For them, technology-driven intensi?cation is an - dinary and unremarkable extension of past practice. Opponents counter with images of marine and freshwater environments devastated by intensive aquaculture pr- tices producing unsustainable and unhealthy food products. They view the promised revolutionasascam,nothingmorethanclever marketingbypro?t-hungry ?shfa- ers looking for ways to distract the public from the real harms done by aquaculture. The stark contrast between proponents and opponents of modern aquaculture recalls decades of disputes about intensive terrestrial plant and animal agriculture, disputes whose vigor shows that the debate is about much more than food production (Ruse and Castle 2002).
