Sažetak
Aquaculture is the art, science and business of cultivating aquatic animals and plants in fresh or marine waters. It is the extension of fishing, resulted from the fact that harvests of wild sources of fish and other aquatic species cannot keep up with the demand presented by the growing human population. Expansion of aquaculture can result with less care for the environment. The first pre-requisite to sustainable aquaculture is clean water and with no doubt aquaculture and the environment share the same destiny. Bad management of aquatic species production can alter or even destroy existing wild habitat, increase local pollution levels or negatively impact local species. Aquatic managers are aware of that and together with scientists are looking for modern and better solutions to many issues regarding fish farming. This book presents recent research results on the interaction between aquaculture and environment, and several case studies all over the world with the aim of improving and performing sustainable aquaculture.
