Dr. Hanping Wang’s latest book, Sex Control In Aquaculture, has been named one of the best aquaculture books of all time by the popular book recommendation and ranking website BookAuthority.com.

The 888-page, two-volume book is a comprehensive resource that covers all aspects of sex control in aquaculture, and was written by internationally-acclaimed scientists. Wang, who serves as the Principal Scientist and Director of the Aquaculture Research Center and Aquaculture Genetics and Breeding Laboratory at The Ohio State University South Centers, was the editor of the book alongside Francesc Piferrer and Song-Lin Chen. 

The book’s first edition was published in January 2019 by Wiley-Blackwell.

BookAuthority is one of the world’s leading websites for book recommendations by thought leaders, and aids people in finding the best books on any topic. The site serves millions of book recommendations every month and has been featured on CNN, Forbes, and Inc.

BookAuthority describes its ratings as “objective and unbiased,” as they are calculated based purely on data. A proprietary algorithm uses public mentions, recommendations, ratings, sentiment, and sales history to rate each book.

In addition to Wang, South Centers staff members Zhi-Gang Shen, Hong Yao, Dean Rapp, and Paul O’Bryant also contributed to authoring chapters in the book. Sarah Swanson provided chapter coordination and Bradford Sherman, Joy Bauman, and Jordan Bostic contributed to the book by providing English language editing.
