This exciting new reference offers a wealth of practical and
technical information on the chemical, physical, and biological
effects of intensive rearing conditions on hatchery fish, and the
adverse effect these factors can have on their health and physical
condition. A unique combination of theory and practical
applications is presented throughout the book, providing the
scientific basis for managing water quality, fish cultural
procedures, and the biological interactions of the fish being
produced to prevent diseases and costly production losses. The book
begins with a discussion of the physiological functioning of fish
under normal conditions. It then explains the interactions between
fish and the chemical factors in the rearing environment, including
effects of the algal toxins that currently cause serious economic
losses in freshwater and marine aquaculture operations world-wide.
The next chapter covers the physiological effects of common fish
cultural procedures, with emphasis on crowding (density tolerance),
handling, and transportation, and effects on smolt development of
anadromous salmonids. This section is followed by a discussion of
the stress and disease problems that can result from biological
interactions between the fish themselves and between fish and
facultative and obligate microbial pathogens present in the rearing
environment. Emphasis is on methods of preventing stress and
disease problems in this section. The book concludes by exploring
the biological, physical, and chemical methods of minimizing the
fish pathogen load in hatchery water supplies. Thorough and
complete, this indispensable resource provides professionals in
fishery, biology, aquaculture, and naturalresource management with
the basic technical knowledge needed to improve management of the
interactions between fish and the chemical, physical, and
biological factors in the rearing environment. In addition, this
book will serve as a useful text for undergraduate and graduate
students enrolled in fishery, biology, and zoology.
