Valmis teine, parandatud ja täiendatud trükk raamatust "Vesiviljeluse eesti-inglise seletav sõnaraamat".
Vesiviljelus (aquaculture) on kiiresti laienev ja arenev kalanduse haru, kus pidevalt lisandub uusi tehnoloogiaid ja nendega seotud termineid. Selle valdkonna eestikeelset oskussõnavara võib laialipillatult leida õpikutest, andmebaasidest ja Vikipeediast. Paraku on eestikeelsed õpikud vananenud ja neis sisalduv terminoloogia põhineb tihti venekeelsete mõistete ülevõtmisel. Vesiviljeluse terminite andmebaasi veel pole. Eestikeelset terminoloogiat vajavad aga vesiviljelust alustavad ettevõtjad, riigiametnikud, Euroopa Liidu direktiivide tõlkijad ja ajakirjanikud, Eesti Maaülikoolis, Eesti Mereakadeemias ja Järvamaa Kutsehariduskeskuses vesiviljelust õppivad üliõpilased (õppematerjalide tõlkimisel ja referaatide koostamisel) ning ka neid õpetavad õppejõud. Sõnastiku koostamise eesmärgiks oligi koondada eesti- ja ingliskeelsed vesiviljelusterminid tõlkimist hõlbustavasse süsteemi ja anda neile sisuline seletus.
Raamatu on koostanud Eesti Maaülikooli emeriitprofessor Tiit Paaver, 2025.
Sõnaraamatul on märksõnade järgi otsingut võimaldav veebiversioon (hetkel küll veel 2018. aasta versioon, mis varsti saab uuendatud).
Aquaculture is a fast developing branch of management of live resources of water environment. Its technology gets modernized continuously and new terms arise every year, while the basic terminology in biology, veterinary medicine, nutrition science etc. has remained the same during many years. In Estonia the complete dictionary of aquaculture is still missing. Old Estonian textbooks contain usually some fragments of it or are out-of-date and based on Russian terminology. However, we need in Estonia a modern Estonian-English dictionary covering opportunities of translation in both directions and explaining the essence of the terms. Certainly the students, scientists and administrators need the information for translating the Estonian terms into internationally accepted context in English. Administrators, journalists, translators of regulations of European Union also need to know the Estonian terms of the aquaculture and their essence. At the same time students, teachers and fish farmers need to know English terms and their meaning to translate articles, textbooks, regulations etc. Compiling of the dictionary was especially difficult because many terms in Estonian do not have precisely corresponding short equivalent in English, while some words in English have very broad and ambiguous meaning. Based on the experience of author in teaching aquaculture and consulting of the beginners in aquaculture, the list of terms which may be of help for reader has been assembled, although the needed number of them is much higher. The data about current aquaculture production volumes are missing from the dictionary, because they change every year.
The book was compiled by Mr Tiit Paaver, Professor emeritus of Estonian University of Life Sciences
There is a web version of the glossary but that is still a version of year 2018. It is soon to be updated.
