Synopsis
This book is the most complete, accessible and affordable guide to freshwater aquaculture in Australia, emphasising sustainable use of all resources: whether it be on a small scale in a backyard pond, or in commercial production on broad acres. It includes detailed information from design and construction of ponds to water quality, enhancing production through aeration, filtration and water treatment wetlands, foods and feeding, breeding and propagating aquatic animals and plants, sources of stock and polyculture (mixing fish, crustaceans, other animals, and plants for greater yields).

Good enjoyable reading about aquaculture
3 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback
This book is a basic guide to the beginner in the field and anyone just thinking to set up own pond.
To my view the weak part of this book is that it is way too general to make final decission based on information in this book. It could have been going in each chapter into more detail, examples etc.
What makes it good for reading is wery good structure of chapters, which lets anyone starting to think about aquaculture to capture the full range of aquacultures available. There are many usefull tips ranging from what to choose, what to check, what to avoid prior taking the shovel in hand and here I found it inspiring and usefull.
Written in easy language I found it a fine, joy reading.

too costly for too little information
19 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was extremely disappointed for something that purports to be the "complete guide".
In fact this book is a basic intro to the subject, with some pretty pictures...apparently what you are paying for.
Very disappointed.

Everything about what's wrong in aquaculture.
11 April 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Beautifully produced and high quality publishing will not make up for this editions negative approach to aquaculture. If one wants to know everything about why aquaculture will not work and why it's a waste of time to even try, is in this book. Barely 5 pages (that may be optimistic) about what will work. Nothing about what could be tried, what will work on smaller scales. What would a hobby grower likely succeed at to develop skills and "aqua-acuity". It is very easy to belittle and denigrate others efforts. In fact Mr. Romanowski seems to have missed his calling and after 30 years of learning something about aquaculture instead of illuminating us about what could be tried and/or developed he parades as a movie critic who prides himself in trashing every movie ever made. Don't waste your money on it unless you are looking for every possible reason to not pursue aquaculture. Nice pictures though.
