This important book, which contains fully peer reviewed and carefully edited papers from the 2nd International Symposium in Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching is broadly divided into sections covering the following areas:


The present situation of stock enhancement
Seed quality and techniques for effective stocking
Health management of hatchery stocks
Methods for evaluating stocking effectiveness

Review

"A very important book about a very important subject. Sea ranching, quite clearly, represents a large part of the future of the global seafood industry.
This all-encompassing book, which comprises forty well considered papers looks at many of those problems and offers numerous solutions to them."
Professional Fisherman

"This book brings an enormous amount of information on past experiences and ongoing studies into one easy-to-read source. .[it] is an excellent compendium of often hard-to-find published examples…Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching is a well-prepared and timely book...an excellent survey of activities and issues…will be very valuable as a reference source for anyone interested in stock enhancement and sea ranching."
Fish and Fisheries, 2005 "...the book does provide a broad and up to date overview of the state of marine stock enhancement research. Those directly involved in the field will want it on the shelves, and subject libraries should have it available for reference."
Journal of Fish Biology, December 2005
"This book is an excellent overview of the current state of artificial supplementation of marine fisheries and outlines current debates for responsible use of this technology."
Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2005
"This authoritative volume, which contains 40 fully peer-reviewed papers presented at the Second International Symposium on Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching, held in Japan, is essential reading for anyone interested in 'the state of the art' of stock enhancement and sea ranching."
