The sustainability of our natural resources has never been so important. The fields of aquaculture and living resources management must stand at the forefront of innovation and environmental stewardship. We hope this book serves as both an educational resource and a call to action for students, professionals, and policymakers alike. By fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities within these fields, we can work together to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our aquatic resources, while contributing to the wellbeing of society.
