Of course the scientists here are worried about the environment, but what really excites them is the opportunity fish farms provide for experimental research that is difficult or impossible in natural oceans where the conditions can not be so closely monitored and manipulated. Research on the impact of aquaculture has been driven by the massive increase in the industry during the past decade and increasing pressure from regulators, consumers, and others. Contributors from academic and commercial settings look at the impacts of specific kinds of culturing methods, and some general issues. Their nine studies complement Biology of Farmed Fish edited by Black and A. D. Pickering for the same series.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
