This review is from: Sustainable Aquaculture (Hardcover)

This volume is a good introduction into the complex issue of aquaculture sustainability. It is an important reference to have. It covers many different topic areas, and does a fairly good job at that. The one drawback it it is already becoming dated - at only 5 years! Well worth the read.
