As the expansion in world aquaculture continues at a very high
rate, so does the need for information on feeding of cultivated
fish and shellfish. In the larval and juvenile phases of many
species, the use of manufactured feed is not possible. This
important book covers in detail the biology and culture of the main
live prey and microalgae used as feeds in the aquaculture of major
commercial species including shrimps, sea bass, halibut, cod and
bivalves.
Contents include comprehensive details of the status of marine
aquaculture in relation to live prey, and chapters covering the
biology, production, harvesting, processing and nutritional value
of microalgae and the main prey species: rotifers, "Artemia" and
copepods.
The editors have drawn together an impressive international team
of contributors, providing a work that is set to become the
standard reference and practical guide on the subject for many
years to come.
"Live Feeds in Marine Aquaculture" is an essential purchase for
anyone involved in marine aquaculture, including fish farmers,
researchers, and personnel in feed and equipment companies
supplying the aquaculture trade. An extremely valuable tool as a
reference and practical manual for students and professionals
alike; libraries in all universities and research establishments
where biological and aquatic sciences and aquaculture are studied
and taught, should have copies available on their shelves.
