Aquaculture is playing an increasingly important role in world food production, and this book aims to review all aspects of the subject. After giving a brief description of the current status of aquaculture and its basic principles, it goes on to give a more detailed account of husbandry, the biology and ecology of the cultured species, their breeding, nutrition and diseases. Later chapters consider aquaculture systems, and provide examples of the worldwide culture of various species - algae, molluscs, crustacea and fish. The book is designed as an introductory text for undergraduates, postgraduates, short-course students, as well as practitioners in the field.
