This volume examines fisheries and aquaculture. The chapters in this volume synthesize the current understanding of the diverse topics in fisheries and aquaculture. The first part of the book explores worldwide crustacean fisheries and concludes with two chapters on harvested crustaceans that are usually not within the focus of the mainstream fisheries research, possibly because they are caught by local fishing communities in small-scale operations and sold locally as subsistence activity. In the second part of the book, the authors explore the variety of cultured crustacean species. The chapters of the third part of the volume focus on important challenges and opportunities, including diseases and parasitism, the use of crustaceans as bioindicators, and their role in biotechnology. Collectively, these 19 chapters provide a thorough exposition of the present knowledge across the major themes in crustacean fisheries and aquaculture.

The reproductive performance of commercially important crustaceans may be considerably affected by symbiotic nemertean egg predators and parasitic castrators. Because these parasites commonly affect only females or feminize males, they may be protected by management practices that protect females. To manage a parasitized stock, we suggest that strategies should vary depending on the recruitment dynamics of both host and parasite. For a certain spatial scale, recruitment to a population may be "open" or "closed" depending on the behavior of planktonic larvae, the duration of these planktonic stages, and the flush rate of the environment of the adult host. Both hosts and parasites may have open or closed larval recruitment. We developed mathematical models to investigate the impact of protection of females on a hypothetical fishery for different combinations of host and parasite recruitment dynamics. The models suggest that the common practice of releasing females is not advantageous when a fishery is affected by a parasite. Retaining females in the catch is preferable in most cases. Treating or culling infected females may be advisable when host recruitment is closed.

The fundamental biological issue for fisheries management is undoubtedly the prevention of recruitment overfishing, i.e. to prevent the spawning stock from being depleted by fishing to a level where it significantly reduces the abundance of recruits. However, for many important fisheries, particularly crustacean fisheries, the stock-recruitment relationship (SRR) is not known. In many cases, research on recruitment has concentrated on short-term studies of recruitment processes to the exclusion of research into the SRR which requires development of long term databases. This paper examines techniques required to model the SRR, using case studies from Western Australian crustacean fisheries. Outlines of potential problems such as errors and biases in the measurement of stock and recruitment indices, the time series nature of the data, and lack of stationarity in the data, are given with possible solutions. Environmental effects, which can greatly influence the abundance of recruits, may need to be determined before the underlying SRR can be seen. Some of the advantages and possible disadvantages of incorporating environmental variables in the SRR are examined. A thorough assessment of SRRs also involves a study of the impact of fishing on the stock and the effect of stochastic variation using simulations. The evaluation of the SRR requires a multi-disciplinary approach which includes the fields of biology, environment, economics, population dynamics and statistics.

Shellfish harvesting accounts for over ⅓ of total fisheries landings by value in the United Kingdom. Contributing over £400 million each year, shellfish aquaculture and the wild-capture shellfish, mollusk, and crustacean fisheries are important economic drivers in the UK. Ocean acidification could affect some of these species, affecting their survival as some of their shells could be affected by low pH conditions. To understand the monetary effects of ocean acidification, the authors calculated the costs of lost shellfish harvesting on the UK economy.
