Outlook of Climate Change and Fish Nutrition (Hardcover). Cet article n’est pas disponible.Outlook of Climate Change and Fish Nutrition (Hardcover)

The edited book covers the climate change impact broadly across the ecosystems including increasing pressure on livelihood and food supplies to the society. Climate change, in particular, rising temperatures, can have both direct and indirect effects on global fish production. Fisheries and aquaculture is one of the important sectors of agriculture for livelihood and nutritional security. Fish, being poikilothermic in nature are very sensitive to any change in the ecosystem. In commercial aquaculture, it is crucial to ensure that environmental rearing conditions are adequate, if not optimal, for fish growth, welfare and profitability. Thus, the book develops an understanding regarding changes in relevant environmental parameters and its affect in the growth and physiological performance of fish. Fish feeds on natural food organisms, but the adverse changes in the ecosystem attracts nutritionists to provide better food and feeding strategies for optimum growth and survival of the fish. it is become necessary to develop preparedness about the changes and their mitigation strategies through fish nutrition and feeding strategies. This book addresses the potential impact of climate change on the aquaculture sector under sections - Assessment of Global Warming Impact on aquatic resources and fish production, Adaptation in Fish Digestive Physiology and Biochemistry under Changing Environment, Prioritization of fish feed technology with respect to changing climate for adaptation and mitigation, Strategies and planning on reproductive physiology and feed management for biodiversity conservation. The chapters are contributed by the experts in the field of fish nutrition and physiology. The book assists fish farmers, entrepreneurs, planners and advisors specifically related to nutritional and physico-biochemical changes in fishes to adapt or mitigate the adverse effect of climate change.

Dr. Archana Sinha, Principal Scientist (Fish Nutrition), Kolkata Research Station, ICAR-Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute, Kolkata, has more than 30 years of working experience in the field of fisheries and aquaculture. She completed more than 20 research projects, developed technology, served as course teacher for M.F.Sc., Ph.D. and Diploma courses, and guided student's for their Ph.D. thesis in the subject Fisheries and aquaculture. She published more than 100 research papers, 05 books, 20 book chapters, 10 training manuals, etc. and also developed course module on fish nutrition, Entrepreneurship development in fish processing, ornamental fish breeding and culture, etc. for ICAR-CIFE and Skill Development Programme of ASCI.

She organized more than 100 short term training programmes for unemployed, women, farmers, and entrepreneurs for the development of the fisheries sector. She has been conferred with several fellowships and awards in her field.
Dr. Shivendra Kumar, Associate Professor, Department of Aquaculture, College of Fisheries, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa, Bihar, involved in research, research-based extension and teaching of graduate and postgraduate students. Dr. Kumar pursued M.F.Sc. and Ph.D. in 'Fish Nutrition and Biochemistry' from ICAR-CIFE, Mumbai, and postdoc in 'Fish Nutrition' at HAKI, Szarvas, Hungary. Major area of his research is in the field of fish nutrition and physiology of temperature regulation including development of strategies to reduce the feed cost. He developed the concept of 'Nutritional Programming' for better adaptation to alternative diet in adult fish. Dr. Kumar was awarded the 'Dr. N. R. Menon best Post Graduate Thesis Award' by PFGF, India, and 'Dr. Hiralal Choudhary Young Scientist Award' by ICAR-CIFE, Mumbai. Dr. Kumar has published 45 research papers in peer-reviewed research journals of national and international repute with 1679 citations, 19 h-index, and 23 i10-index. Besides these he is the author of 5 books, 20 book chapters, and 30 articles.

Dr. Kavita Kumari, is presently working as a scientist in the Division of Aquatic Environment Biotechnology and Nanotechnology at ICAR-Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute, Barrackpore, Kolkata. She is a Fisheries Graduate. She did her master's in the discipline of Fish Genetics and Biotechnology and Ph.D. in Fish Biotechnology from ICAR-Central Institute of Fisheries Education, Mumbai. Her area of research is application of molecular biology tools for assessment of physiological changes in fish, phylo-geographic variation in fish diversity, and impact of climatic variability on microbes. She was awarded the merit scholarship during her graduation and received fellowship for her postgraduation and Ph.D. work. She also received the young scientist award and gold medal by the Zoological Society of India in the year 2017 and best oral presentation award by Indian Fisheries Outlook-2022. She has many peer-reviewed international publications and delivered presentations in international seminars and symposia.
