The encyclopedia of Aquaculture is the first and only comprehensive reference providing complete coverage of all key topics relevant to the practice of aquaculture. Over 100 internationally renowned experts have contributed providing the latest findings and information associated with the production of fresh and saltwater aquatic plants and animals under controlled or semi-controlled conditions. The book includes information on disease and health issues such as bacterial and viral diseases and vaccines; technology and engineering topics including aeration, feeds, site selection and water treatment; as well as business management subjects like financing, fisheries management and market trends. The Encyclopedia was designed to serve as an entry point into this multidisciplinary field. The 155 articles, generally 5 to 10 pages long describe basic culture requirements of over 60 predominant salt and fresh water species being cultured around the world for food, recreational fishing, the aquarium trade and bait. Comprehensive coverage of all aspects of aquaculture makes this a one-stop reference to the field.
