The latest edition describes all the most recent developments in this increasingly important and very fast developing sector of the marine industry Review appeared in: Ausmarine (incorporating Professional Fisherman), and Fishing Boat World, both 2006 "This review of fish culture in cages thoroughly discusses water-based systems of aquaculture. The author characterizes and elaborates advantages and disadvantages relative to land-based systems such as ponds and raceways... The book is logically organized and clearly written."
