Book description
Aquaculture is an increasingly diverse industry with an ever-growing
number of species cultured and production systems available to
professionals. A basic understanding of production systems is vital to
the successful practice of aquaculture.
Published with the World Aquaculture Society, Aquaculture
Production Systems captures the huge diversity of production
systems used in the production of shellfish and finfish in one concise
volume that allows the reader to better understand how aquaculture
depends upon and interacts with its environment.
The systems examined range from low input methods to super-intensive
systems. Divided into five sections that each focus on a distinct
family of systems, Aquaculture Production Systems serves as an
excellent text to those just being introduced to aquaculture as well
as being a valuable reference to well-established professionals
seeking information on production methods.
