Comparative politics is the subfield of political science. As a sub-discipline, it attempts to understand and analyse how politics and government work within particular countries and regions across the world. This book addresses some of the core issues that are central to the discipline.

Veterinary parasitologists study the genesis and development of parasites in animal hosts, as well as the taxonomy and systematics of parasites, including the morphology, life cycles, and living needs of parasites. This book provides an introduction to veterinary parasitology.

Provides an introduction to political science. The book consists of a collection of articles ranging from power politics and Islamic terrorism to the politics of social media and political marketing. The chapters include conceptual articles as well as experiences from different countries. In nutshell, the book presents the latest perspectives on the science of politics.

The field of veterinary microbiology comprises the study of four areas: bacteria, virus, fungi and parasites. Veterinary microbiology is concerned with microbial (bacterial, fungal, viral) diseases of domesticated vertebrate animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry, fish) that supply food, other useful products or companionship. This book concentrates on bacteria.

The functional anatomy and physiology of domestic animals is an important topic that has implications ranging from human health to the economy. With the broad scope of topics associated with animal anatomy and physiology this book provides an array of articles covering various animals including, dogs, cats, cows, horses, sheep, pigs, and goats.

The field of hematology involves the study of normal and diseased conditions related to the blood. One of the primary techniques used to study the blood is histology, which involves studying the microscopic anatomy of the cells in the blood to determine their relative abundance, phenotype and function. Histology is a major focus of this book.

Many diseases that affect sheep can be prevented through the proper control strategy or vet consultancy, if applied in a timely manner. However, to evaluate the symptoms of a disease, it is critical to be well versed with it. Therefore, in this book, efforts have been made to assemble a wide range of published research studies under this central theme.

Introduces numerous diseases that affect goats and how goat health may impact human health. Some of the articles in this book outline the pathogenesis of goat diseases while others focus on treatment and prevention. The types of diseases discussed include bacterial and parasitic along with dietary and environmental.

Provides a wide treatment of animal husbandry from genetics, through reproductive behaviour, animal health, and wellbeing, to ecosystem dynamics as affected by human activity. The book is aimed at veterinary and agronomy professionals involved in field settings.

The ecosystem approach to fisheries seeks to understand existing relations and their characteristics within the environment, with the objective of improving the management and use of resources by activity. In addition it is extremely important to consider the impact that fisheries production has been producing in each ecosystem and globally.

The most important thing when you want to start aquaculture production is planning. The techniques used by a producer may not always apply to all because every project has its peculiarities. The aim of this book is to present the current aquaculture situation related to aspects of sustainability, showing different techniques used in search of intelligent use of available resources.

Discusses the application of biotechnology in aquaculture, covering the importance of transgenic fish, epigenetics, the application of Biomarker, molecular characterization, histology, aquatic ecosystem monitoring, biosensors for smart-farming, nutritional assessment of feed items in aquaculture, quality assessment of processed aquatic food from contamination, nd the role and use of patent law.

It is extremely important that studies involving seafood safety, quality and health applications are made. The main objective of this book is to present knowledge concerning the applications of seafood for well-being and to combat disease, in addition to aspects involving consumer safety and quality.

Highlights some of the parameters established, models, techniques and methods developed for the improvement of micro algae cultivation and micro algae application. State of the art microalgae biotechnology, particularly focusing on new culture techniques and actual and potential uses in human and animal nutrition, in cosmetics and pharmaceutics, and for environmental applications, is covered.

Through the use of next generation sequencing and microarray analysis, as well as many other techniques, the authors of this book address issues such as how captivity may affect the genome, whether there is evidence for growth-related genes, what genes are associated with infection, disease, or deformity, and how the use of dietary supplementation affects gene expression.

Microalgae are enormously bio-diverse microscopic algae that are primary producers of biomass and oxygen by photosynthesis. This book details the use of microalgae as a food source in the rearing of marine clams, oysters, scallops and in the the larval stages of some marine gastropods, fish species and shrimp.

The main producers of echinoderms are China, New Zealand, Norway, North America and Scotland. The sea urchin and sea cucumber are the most cultivated species. The marketing and export of echinoderms have increased in the last 15 years. This book gathers knowledge about the biology, ecology and human health applications of echinoderms in aquaculture.

Like all livestock, farmed fish can be protected from disease risks by vaccination. Vaccine development has led to accumulation of information on the immune system of fish, production of vaccines, vaccination strategies, side effects and mechanisms of vaccination. This book deals with the efforts towards vaccine development of bacterial and viral diseases.

Examines pollution, waste generation and treatment techniques currently in use. Some techniques reported in the book are not of fishery water treatment but have the potential to be applied. The main intention of this book is to explroe the treatment of water by fishery production, seeking always the responsible use and proper management of this resource, which is essential for life.

Probiotics have been widely used in livestock rearing, but have recently been applied to aquaculture to increrase the production. Probiotics can also improve water quality and pond management. This book describes some of the applications of probiotics in aquaculture.

Rising ocean temperatures and ocean acidification are radically altering aquatic ecosystems. Climate change is modifying fish distribution and the productivity of marine and freshwater species. This has impacts on the sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture, on the livelihoods of the communities that depend on fisheries, and on the ability of the oceans to capture and store carbon.

Marine and fisheries scientists are increasingly using advanced tools to better understand and model their systems to bridge the gap in knowledge of fish behavior and distribution. This book describes the advances in fishery sciences technology which are leading to assessing fish reproductive potential and dispersal in land and marine fishes for economic and ecological advancement.

Provides several studies related to the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms. The book aims to in understanding of the factors about biology and ecology and help producers with innovations.

Provides a broad treatment of intensive aquaculture topics in a single resource, addressing everything from genetics, reproductive behaviour, and fish health, to water ecosystem dynamics as affected by human activity.

Biophysics is that branch of knowledge that applies the principles of physics and chemistry and the methods of mathematical analysis and computer modelling to understand how biological systems work. This text provides an introduction to biophysics.
