Marine fisheries management refers to the practice of using fisheries science in order to protect the marine ecosystem, especially fishes. It aims to device methods to sustainably harvest fishes along with minimizing exploitation of the natural resources involved in the process. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of marine fisheries management. It presents this complex subject in the most comprehensive and easy to understand language. Students, researchers, marine biologists, aquaculturists, and all other associated with this area will find this text helpful. It will prove to be a beneficial source of reference for readers.

An overview of work done with RSW and CSW systems and the potential for the use of their combinations is presented. Particular attention is givento the problems arising from the use of these systems in the tropical and semi- tropical waters found off the Southeastern United States. Brief estimates of both first costs and operating costs are given for four hypothetical systems; however, no attempt is made to specify a least-cost system due to the number of controlling variables that must be considered in any specific application. An annotated bibliography of most of the relevant literature is provided in an appendix.

Progress in Refrigeration Science and Technology, Volume II is a collection of papers from the Eleventh International Congress of Refrigeration held in Munich in August-September 1963. These papers deal with the various scientific and technical aspects, designs, and technology of refrigeration used in food, as well as advances in air-conditioning, and heat pumps. One paper discusses the refrigeration of meat, fruit, or vegetables, and the reaction rate of proteolysis in low temperatures. The paper points out that meat preservation by freezing is not economical below 60 degrees centigrade citing the reason that cathepsines are still catalytically active in lower temperatures. Other papers discuss the effects of freezing of beef, pork, turkey, chicken, sweet corn, spinach puree. As regards fruit and vegetable storage, the air needs to be purified to inhibit infections, retard fungal or bacterial growth, and dissipate ripening gases or foul odors. Another paper examines the reasons for doing away with floor insulation in refrigeration plants used in storing fresh meat during the summer and winter months. This collection is suitable for engineers in the area of refrigeration, and also for food technologists involved in food research and preservation.
