Full Description
Genetic Breeding and Aquaculture of Shellfish covers the global status, research advancements, and future trends in shellfish genetic breeding. Shellfish represent a major role in global food security, and the proportion of bivalve cultivation in global blue food production is expected to triple by 2050. Moreover, filter-feeding shellfish possess carbon sequestration capabilities, suggesting that the expansion of shellfish aquaculture not only promises enhanced yields but also aligns with the ambitions of achieving carbon neutrality. This book therefore represents a timely addition to a rapidly expanding field that serves global food security, sustainability, and marine conservation aims. Addressing the challenges and solutions related to shellfish genetic breeding and aquaculture, this book is structured into two main sections: 1) genetic breeding, which introduces major breeding technologies, recent advancements, and practical examples, and 2) aquaculture, which focuses on how major cultivated species can achieve efficient and healthy industrialized cultivation. To improve the accessibility of this book to broad audiences, early chapters summarize the basic biology and ecology of shellfish before delving into the theory and research of genetic breeding practices. Latter chapters apply theory to practice, offering practical guidance on mature and novel cultivation models and technical directions for stakeholders and technicians working in shellfish cultivation industries. Genetic Breeding and Aquaculture of Shellfish bridges scientific innovation with practical application to navigate the progress of shellfish aquaculture in the 21st century and contribute to the sustainable development of global aquaculture. It is an essential resource for students, academic researchers, industry scientists, and aquaculture technicians spanning shellfish research and aquaculture sectors.
