This book examines the genetic improvement of farmed species and the control of reproduction and reviews key issues in health, diet and husbandry, such as the control of viral and parasitic diseases, diet and husbandry techniques to improve disease resistance, advances in diets for particular fish species and the impact of harmful algal bloom on shellfisheries aquaculture.
The editors also investigate the design of different aquaculture production systems, including offshore technologies, tank-based recirculating systems and ponds, plus key environmental issues.
