About the Book: Medicinal Freshwater Life: Anticancer Potential
Although the freshwater ecosystems comprise less than 1% of the earths surface,
they are the home to at least 10% of earths plant and animal species. Freshwater
habitats are incredibly diverse as they cover more than 400 large-scale
ecoregions and thousands of rivers, lakes, and wetlands. They are the home to at
least 140,000 species. Humans depend freshwater ecosystems and their
biodiversity for food, health, material goods, recreation, etc. While the
biodiversity, fisheries and environmental characteristics of these ecosystems
have been well studied, the pharmaceutical compounds in general and anticancer
potential in particular are not so far researched intensively.
