In today's world, food scarcity and food security are significant global concerns, with 811 million people suffering from hunger and 3 billion individuals unable to afford healthy diets. This book discusses fisheries and aquaculture as crucial contributors to nutritional security and the need for sustainable practices to meet the growing demand. The subject matter of this book covers: Recycling of Waste Through Tubifex Culture and Used as Live Food in Aquahatcheries Culture Techniques of Daphnia Mosquito Larval Control Through the Larvivorous Fish Chlorella Live Food: Cultivation and Applications Print edition not for sale in South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Bhutan)
This book shares experiences and knowledge on climate change impacts and adaptation, risk reduction strategies, communities’ responses, and best practices from different landscapes of India. It provides insights into climate change risk reduction in trans-disciplinary frameworks. The findings and discussions put forward in the chapters, largely based on micro-level case studies, provide an in-depth understanding of interactions among ecology, society, and economy under different conditions of changing climate. It contains critical discussion on both existing and required actions as adjustments to climate change impacts by different actors at diverse scales and contexts. The recommendations will be beneficial in climate change adaptation planning for India and other developing countries, where a large portion of the population directly depends on climate-sensitive sectors. The content of the book is interdisciplinary and it will be beneficial for scholars and practitioners from natural science, social science, policy, and governance across the continents.
This book is part of a two-volume set that offers an innovative approach towards developing methods and tools for assigning conservation categories of threatened taxa and their conservation strategies by way of different phases of eco-restoration in the context of freshwater river systems of tropical bio-geographic zones. The set provides a considerable volume of research on the biodiversity component of river ecosystems, seasonal dynamics of physical chemical parameters, geo-hydrological properties, types, sources and modes of action of different types of pollution, river restoration strategies and methodologies for the ongoing ecological changes of river ecosystems. Volume 2 highlights bio...
This book presents the select proceedings of the 1st International Conference on River Corridor Research and Management (RCRM 2021).
