Book description
As aquaculture continues to grow at a rapid pace, understanding the
engineering behind aquatic production facilities is of increasing
importance for all those working in the industry. Aquaculture
engineering requires knowledge of the many general aspects of
engineering such as material technology, building design and
construction, mechanical engineering, and environmental engineering. In
this comprehensive book now in its second edition, author Odd-Ivar
Lekang introduces these principles and demonstrates how such technical
knowledge can be applied to aquaculture systems.
Review of the first edition:
'Fish farmers and other personnel involved in the aquaculture
industry, suppliers to the fish farming business and designers and
manufacturers will find this book an invaluable resource. The book
will be an important addition to the shelves of all libraries in
universities and research institutions where aquaculture,
agriculture and environmental sciences are studied and taught.'
Aquaculture Europe
'A useful book that, hopefully, will inspire successors that focus
more on warm water aquaculture and on large-scale mariculture such
as tuna farming.'
