Synopsis: Aquatic Food Security explores a range of issues related to this subject using global examples to illustrate both the strengths and weaknesses within the existing aquatic food supply chain. This is already an area of vital importance, and it will increase in importance as the aquaculture industry grows for the foreseeable future. The book addresses: - the role of intensification in global aquaculture production; - the importance of nutrition and selective breeding; - diseases and public health considerations; - the role of markets and of processing; - retail sectors; and - quality issues in our global seafood.
