Book excerpt: Captive Seawater Fishes: Science and Technology Stephen Spotte "The book is clearly a labor of love, and one must admire the author's boundless enthusiasm and breadth of scholarship." —New Scientist A seamlessly clear treatise on the science and technology of maintaining seawater fishes for purposes of aquaculture and public exhibition. Captive Seawater Fishes is the first book to bring together in one volume the disciplines of seawater chemistry, process engineering, and fish physiology, behavior, nutrition, and health. Richly illustrating the interplay between living fishes and the chemical and sensory stimuli of their environment, the book details: chemical processes controlling carbonate stability in seawater; the effect of captivity on physiological processes; sensory processes of fishes, including vision, hearing, and electroreception; diseases of seawater fishes and treatment methods; and more. 1991 (0-471-54554-6) 976 pp. Surveys of Fisheries Resources Donald R. Gunderson The intensive exploitation of fisheries resources has heightened the reliance in the industry on statistical surveying as a means of monitoring the abundance and age composition of existing fish reserves. Here is the first comprehensive look at the unique challenges and problems of fisheries surveying. Covering everything from survey design, bottom trawl surveys, acoustic surveys, to egg and larval surveys and direct counts, as well as the assumptions and limitations surrounding each method, the book is an exhaustive, yet practical guide to designing accurate, cost-effective fisheries surveys. 1993 (0-471-54735-2) 256 pp. Aquatic Pollution: An Introductory Text, Second Edition Edward A. Laws Regarded as the most complete introduction available on the subject, Aquatic Pollution details the ecological principles and toxicological fundamentals behind the phenomenon as well as the latest information on the factors affecting our polluted aquatic environment. Featuring case studies and specific examples, the book systematically examines such problems as urban runoff, sewage disposal, thermal pollution, nutrient loading, industrial wastewater discharges, and oil pollution. The new Second Edition includes three new chapters on groundwater pollution. acid rain, and plastics in the sea, as well as updated and expanded information on eutrophication, pathogens in water supplies, radioactive waste disposal, toxic metals, and pesticide use. 1993 (0-471-58883-0) 611 pp.

Book excerpt: Aquariology occupies a position that is peripheral to the main body of science. More specialized disciplines - seaiology - provide the foundation for what is known about how how aquatic animals and plants live in captive environements. The gulf seperating specialists from aquarists has never been adequately spanned until now. For the first time, material from these specialized fields has been assimilated collated, and made available to aquarists. SEAWATER AQUARIUMS is the most comprehensive books of its kind ever written. Drawing on his own experiences in the public aquarium profession, Spotte deals with the maintenance of aquatic animals and plants in closed systems (aquariums in which the water s filtered and otherwise treated, and then reused). Aquatic organisms alter the water in which they live, and their well-being is in turn affected by the extent and nature if the changes. Thus, the book's primary theme is the control of water quality factors that affect the physiological processes of captive seawater organisms. Among the topics discussed in detail are: temperature control; lighting; aeration; buffering; bacteriological filtration; the workings of ultraviolet sterilizers and ozonators; physical adsorption methods; techniques for processing large volumes of influent seawater; and the origins and physiological effects of stress. The subject of the last chapter is the laboratory analysis of aquarium seawater. Both practical and theoretical aspects are integrated throughout the text, resulting in a unique blend of the latest theoretical information with practical techniques for using it. The accompanying bibliography is the most complete compendium of aquarium literature assembled to date. Researchers in freshwater, estuarine, and marine science; design engineers of public aquariums, hatcheries, aquaculture installations, and marine laboratories; oceanographic technicians; and public aquarium curators will all appreciate the usefulness of this unqie volume on seawater aquarium technology.
