Fish Nutrition, Fourth Edition is an up-to-date, authoritative
presentation of all key elements of the nutrition of fish and
crustaceans. As aquaculture is rapidly expanding, more than 200
herbivorous and carnivorous species occupy a diverse range of
ecological niches, and have therefore evolved to utilize a wide
array of food sources. This new edition highlights these
differences and covers the complexity and challenges associated
with fish nutrition, addressing nutrient requirements to produce
high-quality, healthful and sustainable resources, the essential
nutrients for fish species, including proteins and amino acids,
vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, a feed quality
assessment, and fish pathology. Led by a team of international
experts, this edition provides readers with new information on the
use of high-throughput technologies in fish nutrition research, the
role of feeds on the community structure of the microbiome, and
advances in essential nutrient requirements.
Fish Physiology, Volume 38 in this ongoing series, examines how the
inherent potential of fish to express traits of economic value can
be realized through aquaculture. Topics covered include the
regulation of the reproductive cycle of captive fish, shifting
carnivorous fish towards plant-based diets, defining the
challenges, opportunities and optimal conditions for growth under
intensive culture (including in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems),
enhancing immune function and fish health during culture,
identifying and managing maladaptive physiological responses to
aquaculture stressors, establishing welfare guidelines for farmed
fish, phenotypic and physiological responses to genetic
modification, Zebrafish as a research tool, and the aquaculture of
air-breathing fish.
