Sinossi

Fish and other seafood have always been considered as an important part of human diet and have also long been recognized as a health-promoting food for human nutrition. However, managing aquatic food resources remains a challenge as the human population is expanding and overfishing poses a threat to fishing reserves in several areas. Aquaculture is the alternative solution for food production from the sea. According to the FAO, aquaculture is probably the fastest growing food-producing sector and can be a sustainable solution for fish production. In order to maximize marine food production and achieving sustainable management of the aquatic environment, knowledge about aspects of fisheries and aquatic animal health is very important. 
Trends in Fisheries and Aquatic Animal Health covers some basic and applied topics in fishery management and fish health with a focus on European regions. The textbook is a combination of reviews and research articles. Topics covered in the book include challenges in fishery management, environmental impacts on fisheries, fish health (pharmacology, histopathology, stress response), telemetry techniques in fisheries research, and specific case studies of regional marine species in localized fisheries. This textbook is a useful resource for graduates and professionals involved in advanced training courses for aquaculture and fishery management.

Information Technology -...

Phil Gilberts

Information Technology (IT) refers to the use of computers, software, and networks to manage, process, store, and communicate information. It encompasses a broad range of activities and applications, including hardware and software development, network design and management, data storage and analysis, and cybersecurity. 
  
At the core of IT are several key components. Hardware consists of the physical components of computers and related devices, such as servers, desktops, laptops, smartphones, and networking equipment like routers and switches. Software refers to the programs and applications that run on this hardware, which can be categorized into system software, like operating systems, and application software, like word processors and database management systems. Networks are systems that connect computers and other devices to share resources and information, including local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and the internet. Data management involves the processes and technologies used to collect, store, and analyze data, encompassing databases, data warehouses, and big data analytics. Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting IT systems and data from cyber threats through measures like firewalls, encryption, and intrusion detection systems. Additionally, IT services support the use and maintenance of IT systems through technical support, IT consulting, and managed services.

The Medicine Chest - A...

Jarol Boan

An examination of the barriers facing Indigenous people within the healthcare system from the perspective of an empathetic settler physician 
After leaving her medical practice in Pennsylvania in 2011, Jarol Boan returned to her childhood home in Saskatchewan, Canada to practice medicine. There she found a healthcare system struggling with preventable chronic diseases and institutional racism. Shocked by the high rate of preventable diseases in her patients, Boan realized that a paternalistic deficit model does not support Indigenous communities. Through working to provide medical services in Indigenous communities and learning firsthand from her Indigenous patients, Boan embarked on a road to enlightenment and reconciliation. 
In The Medicine Chest, Boan exposes the healthcare disparities in a country that prides itself on an equitable healthcare system and examines the devastating effects of diabetes, the myth of “the drunken Indian,” the inner workings of hospitals, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, epidemics on reserves, and residential school trauma. Exploring the intersectionality of common diseases and social determinants of health gained from her experience of caring for Indigenous patients, Boan weaves historical data, comments on health policy, and jurisdictional gaps into the narrative while investigating how Canada’s healthcare system is failing those most in need.
