FOREWORD
This book isbasedon asymposium entitled ‘‘Ecological and GeneticImplica-
tions of Aquaculture Activities,’’ which was held at the annual meeting of
the World Aquaculture Society (WAS), May 4–5, 2000, in Nice, France.
I organized the symposium while serving as Vice-chair and Chair of the U.S.
National Committee for the International Union for the Biological Sciences
(USNC=IUBS). The USNC=IUBS is a U.S. National Academies of Sciences
committee that represents U.S. interests in the biological sciences in the inter-
nationalworldofscientificorganizationsandisundertheauspicesoftheU.S.
National Research Council. The IUBS itself had an ongoing program, called
Reproductive Biology and Aquaculture (RBA), for the application of modern
technologies to animal reproduction in aquaculture. Prior to USNC=IUBS
involvement in the RBA program, the program focused on the applications
of modern techniques developed in the disciplines of cell biology, molecular
biology, and genetics to address issues and needs pertaining to aquaculture.
The USNC=IUBS involvement in the RBA program launched the program’s
second stage. The program expanded toward understanding the genetic, eco-
logical,andenvironmentaleffectsofthesetechnologiesandthedevelopmentof
solutionstothosenegativeeffects.Thescopeofthesecondstagemetanimpor-
tant global need. It focused awareness on the development and dissemination
of aquaculture approaches and methods that could increase the efficiency and
quantityoffoodproductionwhileminimizingecologicalandgeneticdamageto
both wild populations and aquacultured animals associated with this food
production.
At the time that the symposium was being planned, aquaculture industry
leaders and scientists were becoming acutely aware of the increasing global
attentiontoecologicalandgeneticeffectsofaquacultureactivities.Thus,WAS
scientific and industry leaders welcomed the opportunity to host a major
symposiumthataddressedthoseissuesatanannualWASmeeting.Theobjec-
tives of the symposium were twofold: (1) bring together leaders of the science
of aquaculture to identify specific national and global ecological and genetic
effects that the various types of aquaculture activities brought upon the envi-
ronment and its constituent ecosystems and (2) share and discuss the

effectivenessofactualandattemptedsolutionstothoseeffectsanddevelopnew
solutions.
Twenty-eight speakers from 18 different countries gave presentations at the
symposium. Toward the symposium objectives, some speakers described the
types and overall level of global effects from aquaculture activities and pre-
senteddirectionsofthinkingtoaddressthoseeffects.Manyspeakersdocumen-
ted the principal types of effects that occur in their countries and presented
specificactionplansoractualmodesofoperationtoreduceandmanagethose
effects.Otherspeakers presented assessmentsofongoingeffortstolimit aqua-
cultureeffectsandpointedoutspecificstrengthsandweaknessesoftheprojects
andprogramstheyevaluated.After theformal presentations, workshopswere
held to share additional information about ways to ameliorate or prevent
aquaculture effects on native organisms and environments. Scientists and
representatives of both the aquaculture industry and major funding agencies
for aquaculture, suchas the World Bank, attended these workshops.
IUBS leaders were keenly interested in a focus on South America for the
symposium. Thus, that continent is well represented in this book. In addition,
five trainees from South American countries also attended the symposium as
invited guests. These trainees were selected by the symposium speakers from
those countries. A special reception was held during the symposium so that
the trainees could converse with the speakers in an informal atmosphere. In
exchange for the financial support given to the trainees to attend the meeting,
each student wrote a report that described the benefits to the student of
attending thesymposium and the WAS meeting.
Twenty-five speakers from 19 different countries submitted manuscripts
basedontheirpresentationsforinclusioninthisbook.Onemanuscript(Alves
etal.,Chapter16)wassolicitedfromtheauthorsatalaterWASannualmeeting.

conservation.
The preparation of this book obviously took a long time. Many factors
contributed to the lengthy process of editing the manuscripts, compiling the
chapters, and writing my own chapters. Most chapter authors submitted their
chapters a number of years ago. A few chose to update their chapters as new
workwasaccomplishedandadditionalrelevantliteraturewaspublished.Thus,
some chapters may appear to be lacking references to the most up-to-date

also deeply thank all of the chapter authors for their long-enduring patience
whilethisbookwasinpreparation.Allauthorsexceptonechosetokeeptheir
chapters in this book rather than to withdraw them and publish them sooner
elsewhere. On the positive side, some chapters have already been cited in the
literatureseveraltimesandothershavealreadybeenusedasteachingtoolsfor
college aquaculture classes. This is a testimony to the utility and relevance of
the various authors’ contributions to this book. I dedicate this book to the
authors of the chapters within it. I will be indebted to them always for their
support.
Funding for the symposium and publication of this book came from many
sources. The USNC=IUBS, the IUBS, the Japanese National Committee for
the IUBS=RBA program, the U.S. Department of Interior, and the WAS
sponsored the symposium. The IUBS and the Japanese IUBS=RBA National

I thank Barry Chernoff for introducing me into the realm of international
research organizations and activities, Kenjiro Ozato for helping me to solidify

Creswell and Rosa Flos, who were co-chairs of the committee to organize the
WAS annual meeting, helped with many details of obtaining funding, and
organizing and executing the symposium. Jennifer Nielsen, editor-in-chief of
the Reviews: Methods and Technologies in Fish Biology and Fisheries book
series, invited me to publish this book as a contribution to that series. The
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Fish and Wildlife Re-
search Institute (FWRI) library staff provided incredible assistance for years.
