Comprising contributions from an international authorship and based upon experience in Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Africa, the United States, Europe, and Africa, this new textbook is specifically designed to cover the theory, general principles and practice of aquaculture at a level suitable to students on both undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
In addition to the chapters specific to the culture of different species, this title provides a detailed overview of world aquaculture including definitions, production levels for major species, legal aspects, and an appraisal of the future of the industry. Detailed individual chapters address the important issues of water quality, environmental protection and conservation, nutrition and feeds, marketing, and general business management.
Whilst this new book is designed primarily to meet the needs of the student it is also a text which will prove invaluable as a reference for practitioners, marine ecologists, fisheries managers and specialist staff.
