Science and Significance of a Globalised Species

Beschreibung

The Manila Clam Ruditapes Philippinarum: Science and Significance of a Globalised Species is an indispensable volume in the Estuarine and Coastal Science" book series offering the only comprehensive account of the Manila clam, covering its journey from its native range in China, Japan, and Korea to its exploitation and establishment in the USA, Canada, Europe, and the Mediterranean. By examining the science and global spread of this successful species, the book addresses broader issues of biological globalization and the exploitation of nature, posing significant questions and challenges for conservation policy and sustainable development in the Anthropocene era.
