In light of the increasing demand for fish, the challenge for planners now is to accelerate aquaculture development and to plan for new production, making urban areas not only centres of marketing and distribution, but also of production, particularly using urban wastewater. This book includes papers from authors in the USA, Europe and Asia that review these developing issues from the perspective of both developed and developing countries. Urban aquaculture education is also considered. The book is intended for those researching in aquaculture, water resources, urban planning and geography. It has 19 chapters and a subject index.
