Media reviews

Both the editors and the authors deserve our highest compliments. The editors specifically also for composing this work: with their own contributions, and by bringing together the very best authors in the field, they have produced a truly marvellous book. Crustaceana "...this collecting of information from a variety of sources is invaluable. The result is that the editors have been successful in putting together a comprehensive volume relating to topics relevant to the culture of freshwater prawn" Aquaculture International "The book surely provides the reader with almost everything they need to know about this vital subject." Fishing Boat World "The book is exceptionally well designed and organized, making for very easy reading. This is no doubt the best up-to-date book I have seen on the subject of prawn farming."
