About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“Presents oppositional evidence around seven contentious issues surrounding aquaculture in an advanced industrial country … . very interesting book–and a way to learn about aquaculture as a future source of animal protein. … required reading for those interested in aquaculture as a source of food and trade. It is also useful for scholars of ethics, knowledge, and governance of production and natural resources. … Contested knowledges, particularly of impacts, of both scientists and fishers is the basis of governance in times of rapid change.” (Cornelia Butler Flora, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Vol. 23, 2010)Editors and Affiliations
