Since the first edition of this book, 17 years ago, aquaculture has
consolidated its position as an important means of producing food
and as a contributor to global food security. Cage aquaculture too
has continued to expand apace. The third edition of this important,
useful and well-received book maintains the original aim of
providing a thorough synthesis of information on cages and cage
aquaculture practices with data and examples encompassing all major
world regions.
Fully updated, the book's comprehensive contents include details
of the origin and principles of cage aquaculture and an overview of
its current position. Contents of the chapters following include
key information on cage design and construction, site selection,
environmental impacts and environmental capacity, management, and
potential problems in cage aquaculture systems. A comprehensive
reference list and index are included to help readers.
The volume is essential reading for all personnel involved in
fish and shellfish farms that use cages, and for all those
embarking on a career in aquaculture. Cage manufacturers and others
supplying the aquaculture trade will find much of commercial use
within the book. All those involved in aquaculture research and
equipment design should have a copy of this most useful book. All
libraries in universities and research establishments where
aquaculture, environmental science, aquatic science, fish biology
and fisheries are studied and taught should have several copies on
their shelves.
