Early detection of algal infection using direct real-time chemical ionization mass spectrometry
Robert S. Pomeroy, Teaching Professor at UC San Diego, guides us through the early detection of algal infections using direct real-time chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Petroleum, from the Latin "rock oil," has transformed our lives. It has changed how we live, work, and play. Petroleum is, however, nothing more than ancient algae. The transformation of biomass to hydrocarbons results from being subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. Algae accumulate oils that, when extracted, can be converted into renewable fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. In 1978, the U.S. Department of Energy launched the Aquatic Species Program to investigate energy production using algae. (1) The establishment of this program coincided with the rapidly rising fuel cost due to the Oil Embargo in 1973 and led to the creation of the U.S. Department of Energy.

Small-scale fisheries make up a large proportion of world's fisheries, both by catch and participation. Effective management is essential to ensure access to fish for food and income. Covering social and economic aspects of the fishery management and governance challenge, this book provides guidance on innovative and alternative management measures and methods for small-scale fisheries. The book covers key topics such as rights, policy, co-management, communications and trade, and is an important reference for researchers and students in fisheries science and management as well as fisheries re
