Intensive Fish Culture

Intensive Fish Culture approaches the topic of intensive fish farming bio-energetically in a comprehensive and logical sequence, defining principles applicable to any species reared intensively in any type of production system world wide. As such it is an essential text for students and tool for practitioners in aquaculture internationally. Arising from courses taught to a variety of personnel over a 30-year period, this important work has been tried and tested by students and professionals alike. Chapters include coverage of bioenergetics, respiration and osmoregulation, growth rates and feeding levels, fish rearing units, facility design, maximizing production, gas management, production theory, recirculation systems and waste management.
