Aquaculture of the United States: A Historical Survey

Aquaculture of the United States: A Historical Survey

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Aquaculture in the United States is a significant agribusiness industry, but it is also a troubled one whose future is clouded by doubt. Many aquaculture practices, such as deliberately introducing exotic species, hatcheries programs, and pen culture in protected waters have come under intense attack from environmentalists. Economic pressures on the industry from the value of coastal land, the unavailability of suitable supplies of water, and the legal costs of regulations have restricted growth. This book looks at the past, present and future of a troubled industry.

The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
A provocative look at the past, present and future of a troubled industry. Describes how public opinion has changed from viewing aquaculture as a friend of the environment to considering it an enemy. Presents the conflict between what is technically possible and what is economically and environmentally sound. Explains why aquaculture is thriving outside the U.S. but is facing difficulties in this country.
