From the reviews:

"This interesting collection can be recommended as a resource for those interested in the potential application of new developments in marine nutraceuticals/functional foods, their quality and technology ... . Primarily biochemists, chemists, food scientists or technologists and, especially, fish technologists working in academia, government laboratories and industry will benefit from this publication. ... it also summarises the current state of knowledge in key research areas and contains ideas for future work. In addition, it provides easy-to-read text suitable for teaching undergraduate and post-graduate students." (AFS - Advances in Food Science, Vol. 25 (2), 2003)
