Produktbeschreibung

Nanochitosan-Based Enhancement of Fisheries and Aquaculture is an indispensable guide for envisioning an ecologically balanced and prosperous future for aquatic resource management. The book explores the innovative application of nanochitosan in aquatic resource management, delineating the cutting-edge potentials of the novel biopolymer to reshape the landscape of fisheries and aquaculture and align with the ambitions of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Goal 14: Life Below Water). The book focuses on sustainability and showcases nanochitosan's capacity to elevate water quality, bolster aquatic well-being, and revolutionize aquaculture disease control, breeding, detoxification, and feed quality. Through practical applications, interdisciplinary insights, and a strong emphasis on food safety and conservation, readers gain a multifaceted understanding of the field's advancements, future potential, challenges, and requisite nanochitosan-based techniques. This work navigates complex scientific concepts clearly, catering to a diverse audience, including researchers, practitioners, and students.

• Explores nanochitosan-based enhancement of spawning and breeding in fishes;
• Focuses on nanochitoan-based detoxification of fishes, antipathogenic and water purification potentials;
• Explains nanobarcoding and fish tagging.

Autorenporträt

Patrick Omoregie Isibor, Ph.D., is a specialist in Pollution Studies and Ecotoxicology and a Lecturer and Researcher in the Department of Biological Sciences at Covenant University. He received his Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Environmental Quality Management from the University of Benin and a B.Sc. in Zoology from Ambrose Alli University. Dr. Isibor's research interests include ecotoxicology, hydrobiology, bioaccumulation, biosequestration, biodiversity conservation, and aquatic ecology. He is a member of the Association for Environmental Impact Assessment of Nigeria (AEIAN), the International Association of Risk and Compliance Professionals (IARCP), and the African Society for Toxicological Sciences (ASTS). Dr. Isibor is co-editor of the book Biotechnological Approaches to Sustainable Development Goals (Springer, 2023), an Editor for the African Journal of Health, Safety, and Environment, and a reviewer for several reputable international journals.   Aina Olukukola Adeogun, Ph.D., is a Professor of Aquatic Toxicology in the Department of Zoology, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. She has pioneered research on endocrine disruption and developed protocols for molecular and cellular toxicology in aquatic organisms towards water and food safety, especially for the vulnerable subpopulation (women and children) in tropical environments dependent on natural fish food as preferred protein sources. She received the Society of Toxicology Global Senior Scholar Award in 2018 and has recently published on the detection of microplastics in fish gut in a tropical municipal lake and showed potential human health effects due to the ability of MPs to be contaminant vectors. She has published over 80 articles in peer-reviewed journals, international conferences, as well as over 20 first-authored articles. She is the Past President of Toxicologists of African Origin (TAO) and chaired the TAO Informational Session on the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa, highlighting Africa's current status towards developing global best practices for curtailing this pandemic.  Alex Ajeh Enuneku, Ph.D, is a specialist in Pollution Studies and Ecotoxicology and Head of the Department of Environmental Management and Toxicology, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Benin. He obtained his Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Pollution Studies and Ecotoxicology and a B.Sc. in Zoology from the University of Benin. He was certified as a chemical hazard control expert in 2016 by Hokkaido University Sapporo. Professor Enuneku's research interests include ecotoxicology, hydrobiology, pollution studies, endocrine disruption, health risk assessment, environmental impact assessment, environmental management, remote sensing, and geographic information systems. He is a member of the Society for Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology (SETAC), the Nigerian Environmental Society, and the Waste Management Association of Nigeria. He is a reviewer for several reputable international journals.
