Sea Lice Biology and Control
by Jim Treasurer Ian Bricknell James BronSea lice are one of the most important and costly health issues for Atlantic salmon aquaculture and for culture of many other marine fish species. In addition, the extent and causes of impacts of sea lice upon wild salmonids has proven a hotly debated issue and one that continues to affect public perceptions of aquaculture. It is over 30 years since the last dedicated book on sea lice biology and management, Pathogens of Wild and Farmed Fish: Sea Lice (Boxshall and Defaye, 1993), and a volume of current perspectives is overdue. The current book updates knowledge concerning the biology and management of sea lice, authored by over 60 world-leading researchers, practitioners and industry experts, written in an accessible and engaging style. New topics include genomics, vaccinology, physiology and epidemiology, and aspects of interactions with wild fisheries are thoroughly reviewed. Sea Lice Biology and Control is of interest to and provides an invaluable reference for sea lice researchers, parasitologists, students, fish farmers, veterinarians and other fish health professionals, wild fish biologists and managers, regulators, government, fish certification professionals and NGOs. The book provides an authoritative overview of sea lice and their interactions and gives a clear illustration of the application of the principles of integrated pest management in an aquaculture context. "This volume covers an impressive array of topics, guiding the community on their journey towards awareness of the most recent advances in sea lice biology and through to the latest genomics studies." - Prof. Geoff Boxshall FRS

The Sea, The Storm, And The Mangrove Tangle
by Lynne CherryA look into a unique ecosystem, one that is endangered in many places <P> A seed is jostled from a branch of a mangrove tree and floats to a lagoon in the Caribbean Sea. It takes root, sprouts leaves, and slowly begins to grow. Over many years, the mangrove will provide a home and nourishment for numerous creatures of land and sea. Among its roots come to live fiddler crabs and shrimp; in its branches dwell lizards and hummingbirds. Soon the tree is dropping seeds of its own, and other mangroves are growing, creating a tangle whose benefits extend even to large mammals like dolphins and manatees. There are endpaper maps that indicate where mangroves are located and the names of common animals and plants found in them. <P> Ever threatened by hurricanes and even more by human destruction, the mangroves of our planet are endangered, but in Lynne Cherry's richly illustrated story one such habitat survives, giving readers hope and inspiration for preservation of these ecosystems in the real world.
Sea Water Desalination in Microgrids (Green Energy and Technology)
by Enrique Rosales-Asensio David Borge-Diez Antonio Colmenar-Santos Francisco José García-MoyaThis book investigates the sustainability performance of system that use microgrids in desalination processes. Climate change may be especially dramatic in its effects on island environments. In these environments, aquifers and wells could become over exploited resulting the use of desalination plans. The synergies between water, energy, and food sectors have been identified as vital in achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.The book explores desalination and microgrids technically as well the economic and legal aspects that must be considered in order explore their techno-economic feasibility - analyzing how to improve the desalination process, proposing a method to locate and size a microgrid. Other synergies between the water, energy, and food system are discussed and the benefits to society that might result in these systems. Also, the lessons learned are highlighted in the context of how they may apply to other sustainable enterprises.
Seabees at Gulfport, The (Images of America)
by Capt. William Hilderbrand Gina L. NicholsIn June 1942, the U.S. Navy established an advance base depot in Gulfport because of its uncrowded deepwater port, rail access, open land, and a tepid climate that permitted training and open port facilities year-round. The base became the southern home for the Seabees and was ideal for shipping construction materiel and men to the Caribbean or the Pacific via the Panama Canal. Since the base reopened in March 1966, Seabees have deployed from Gulfport to serve during major conflicts as well as in peacetime. Seabees from Gulfport played an integral part in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm and more recently deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq to assist in local construction efforts to rebuild both countries. Seabees assist thousands each year in international humanitarian projects while still calling Gulfport home.
Seabees at Port Hueneme, The (Images of America)
by Gina NicholsIn 1942, the navy sought a location for an advance base on the West Coast to ship construction materiel, equipment, and men into World War II's Pacific theater. Port Hueneme's deepwater harbor, rail system, and rural setting made it the ideal site from which to send 20 million measurement tons of war materiel and a quarter of a million men onto island specks that later became headlines: Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and the Philippines. Seabees later deployed from Port Hueneme to serve in the Korean, Vietnam, Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and Iraqi conflicts, as well as in peacetime, for more than 60 years. Charged with building air bases, ports, combat camps, hospitals, and other support facilities as part of military and humanitarianefforts around the world, the Seabees remain at home in Port Hueneme.

SeaCities: Urban Tactics for Sea-Level Rise (Cities Research Series)
by Joerg Baumeister Edoardo Bertone Paul BurtonThis book presents and discusses a strategy which includes four approaches to dealing with the risk of sea-level rise and other water hazards. It also offers opportunities for cities to explore urban extensions such as marine estates, aquatic food production systems, new sea related industries, maritime transport developments, new oceanic tourist attractions, and the designation of additional coastal ecological zones. The urban interface between Sea and Cities generates, therefore, both burning issues and valuable opportunities and raises the question of whether it is possible to solve the former by exploiting the latter?
SeaCities: Aquatic Urbanism (Cities Research Series)
by Joerg Baumeister Ioana C. Giurgiu Despina Linaraki Daniela A. OttmannThis book highlights the research outcome of Cities Research Institute's SeaCities group at Griffith University and a panel with the same title which took place at the World Expo in Dubai 2021/22 supported by the UN.

Seafood Chilling, Refrigeration and Freezing: Science and Technology
by Nalan Gokoglu Pinar YerlikayaFish and seafood are highly perishable, and must be preserved immediately after being caught or harvested. It is very important both to preserving its quality and to ensure that it does not pose any risks to human health upon consumption. Chilling, refrigeration and freezing are the major preservation methods used with seafood and fish products, all three processes aiming to preserve the freshness and flavour of the fish. Consumer demand for fish remains high despite escalating prices in the last ten years which have seen the retail cost of the most popular breeds (cod, haddock, salmon) more than double for unfrozen fish. Many consumers appear to be willing to pay a premium for freshness and quality, both of which are closely linked in shoppers’ minds with the efficient chilling and refrigeration of the fish along the supply chain. At the same time, frozen fish and seafood has also grown more popular with shoppers, as a cheaper, more convenient alternative to refrigerated fresh fish and seafood. Seafood Chilling, Refrigeration and Freezing presents the science behind the chilling, refrigerating and freezing of fish and seafood, describing the chemical, microbiological and physical changes which take place during preservation, and considering the new technologies which can be used, highlighting their benefits and their economic implications. The book takes account of the different requirements for different breeds of fish and seafood, and includes both traditional and novel technologies, providing both current and future perspectives. It will be required reading for food scientists, fish processors and retailers as well as fish specialists, researchers and process designers.
