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.
