Published in Cooperation with THE UNITED STATES AQUACULTURESOCIETY As aquaculture production continues to grow and develop there isa continuous search for new species to culture to be able to fullyexploit new national and international markets. Species selectionfor aquaculture development often poses an enormous challenge fordecision makers who must decide which species and culturetechnologies to support with public resources, and then how best todivide those resources. Species and System Selection forSustainable Aquaculture brings together contributions frominternational experts with experience in identifying potentialspecies and production systems for sustainable aquaculture with asocioeconomic focus. The book is divided into three sections:Principles, Practices, and Species-Specific Public Policy forSustainable Development. An outgrowth of a workshop held as part ofthe Aquaculture Interchange Program with examples from around theglobe carefully edited by PingSun Leung, Pat O'Bryen, andCheng-Sheng Lee this volume will be an important reference for allresearchers, professionals, economists, and policy-makers involvedin selecting new species for the development of sustainableaquaculture.

"The book is traditional proceedings fare, with a mix of overviewarticles and experience papers covering a range of topics. The bookhas a socioeconomic focus, but it can be read by those with littleor no formal training in social sciences. The authors have avoidedintrusive use of economics and social science jargon and this makesthe content accessible to a relatively wide readership. Toconclude; this book provides accessible coverage of, and someuseful insights into, the factors that should be considered whenevaluating species and systems for acquaculture development." Malcolm Jobling, University of Tromso "The book has a socioeconomic focus, but it can be read by thosewith little or no formal training in social sciences." Aquacult International "Aquaculture, as a substitute, replacement or complement tofisheries must be planned and considered equally carefully from asocio-economic perspective as from a bio-environmental one. Thisvaluable book shows how and why." Ausmarine
