► Description: |
This book addresses, reviews and
evaluates key themes in organic
aquaculture and is set out to show how
these relate to the challenges and
bottlenecks for a responsible organic
aquaculture production in Europe. The key
themes reflect the main challenges facing
the organic aquaculture industry:
guarantee and certification system,
nutrition, reproduction, production system
design and animal welfare. In addition, it
assesses the impact of new and future
potential development of new knowledge to
update and modify the criteria and
standards for organic aquaculture. Organic
aquaculture is an alternative production
approach driven by the growing interest in
sustainable utilization of resources. It
is rightly viewed as an important
contributor to the economy and to the
well-being and health of communities. This
work will contribute to the scientific
knowledge that needs to strengthen
effective organic aquaculture. The
collation of information on research and
data will be of applied value to
researchers, university students, end
users and policy authorities in the EU and
worldwide.
