Description

Aquaculture: An Introductory Text provides a comprehensive overview of sustainable aquaculture development and its various aspects. This updated fourth edition covers topics such as culture systems, hatchery methods, nutrition and feeding, reproductive strategies, harvesting, and more. The book also explores other forms of aquaculture, including the production of seaweeds, recreational fish, and ornamental species. The latest edition includes significant updates on open-ocean cage culture, sea lice issues with salmon culture, and progress made in nutrition, such as the shift away from fishmeal and fish oil in feed. Other new topics include biofloc technology uses, predictive impacts of climate change, probiotics, and the impact of COVID-19 on the aquaculture community. As an essential resource for students of aquaculture and related disciplines, this book offers a thorough understanding of the subject, including updated statistics and lists of approved anaesthetics.
