Selected Scholarly Aquaculture and Seafood Readings

It is already a well established fact: We have over-fished our oceans…

Aquaculture Offers Hope to Millions

As a result, if the planet’s oceans continue to be over-harvested, countless millions are going to suffer.  What is the most reasonable solution to feed the multitudes and continue to sustain population growth? How do we come to the aid of an already struggling fishing industry?

Modern Aquaculture Technology.

Below are sited some scholarly works by well respected, published authorities on aquaculture trends, fish and seafood regulations in the US, international aquaculture, fish and shrimp raceway hatchery standards, sustainable seafood regulators, and much more.

The authors are cited with very specific details related to where their works are published and where to find them to investigate aquaculture more fully.

These scholarly works are not just for the technically savvy biologist or researcher. They are provided for anyone who wants to research the newest trends in aquaculture that are making a difference in the world today.

In other words, don’t just “take our word for it”. Read up on modern day aquaculture from experts who have pioneered the field along with us over the last two decades.
