Product Description

Review

`It is written from a different perspective to many co-authored books on fish culture, particularly those out of Europe and has particular relevance to anyone interested in the culture of new or difficult tropical species.' Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 254 (2000)

Product Description

With the depletion of wild fish stocks by factors such as overfishing, habitat degradation, pollution, and red tides, the pressures and incentives for commercial farming of marine food and aquarium fish have increased dramatically. Concurrent with that trend has been an increase in the experimental use of live marine fish in various basic and applied sciences, for example, in developmental, ecological, and toxicological research. Marine Fish Culture is the first comprehensive reference and textbook on this subject and provides information on more than 870 species in 129 families. The book is the product of the author's 27 years of research and teaching in fish culture and biology. Approximately 12,000 references through June 1998 were screened in writing this work, and more than 4,000 are included in the text. Marine Fish Culture covers all the major topics necessary for raising marine fish, including overviews of commercial production statistics, water sources, water treatment, rearing units, energetics, health, and handling; detailed reviews of fish characteristics relative to rearing, the rearing environment, reproduction, nutrition of larvae, and nutrition of juveniles and adults; and reviews of current rearing knowledge for food, bait, and ornamental marine fish, by family.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on fish aquaculture, 3 Jun 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Marine Fish Culture (Hardcover)

This is the best aquaculture book I have read. The data, theory, and methods to be found in it surpass all that can be found elsewhere on the subject. The exhaustive bibliography is one of the largest and most relevant that I have seen. It is a "bible" for the marine fish culturist.
