"Health and Environment in Aquaculture" ed. by Edmir Daniel Carvalho, Gianmarco Silva David and Reinaldo J. Silva

Scientific community is involved in building a model for aquaculture that does not harm ecosystems and provides a reliable source of healthy seafood. This book features contributions from renowned international authors, presenting high quality scientific chapters addressing key issues for effective health management of cultured aquatic animals. This book is an effort to reach the broadest diffusion of knowledge useful for both academic and productive sector.

Aquaculture has been expanding in a fast rate, and further development should rely on the assimilation of scientific knowledge of diverse areas such as molecular and cellular biology, and ecology. Understanding the relation between farmed species and their pathogens and parasites, and this relation to environment is a great challenge.
