Wiley India Pvt Ltd Wrasse Biology And Use In Aquaculture by Sayer M. D. J. Et.Al
Sea lice remain one of the main problems in salmon farming, with estimated costs of treatment and losses of fish running to several million pounds each year in Scotland alone. The use of chemical methods by the industry has brought adverse publicity and wrasse (cleaner fish) present an alternative, environmentally friendly means of biological control. As a result, the demand for wrasse has spawned a new inshore fishery and this has led to calls for more information on the population dynamics and size of stocks. Attempts are also being made to rear wrasse for stocking. As a consequence there is considerable interest in cleaner fish technology from fish farmers and research workers.ContentsList of contributorsPrefaceChapter 1: Introduction: definitions and some historyChapter 2: Agents that can elicit induced resistanceChapter 3: Genomics in induced resistanceChapter 4: Signalling cascades involved in induced resistanceChapter 5: Types and mechanisms of rapidly-induced plant resistance to herbivorous arthropodsChapter 6: Mechanisms of defence to pathogens: biochemistry and physiologyChapter 7: Induced resistance in natural ecosystems and pathogen population biology: exploiting interactionsChapter 8: Microbial induction of resistance to pathogensChapter 9: Trade-offs associated with induced resistanceChapter 10: Topical induction of inducers for disease controlChapter 11: Integration of induced resistance in crop productionChapter 12: Exploitation of induced resistance: a commercial perspectiveChapter 13: Induced resistance in crop protection: the future, drivers andIndex
