Aquaculture is now recognized as a viable and profitable enterprise
worldwide. As aquaculture technology has evolved, the push toward
higher yields and faster growth has involved the enhancement or
replacement of natural foods with prepared diets. In many
aquaculture operations today, feed accounts for more than one-half
the variable operating cost. Therefore, knowledge of nutrition and
practical feeding of fish is essential to successful aquaculture.
This book is not written exclusively for scientists but also for
students, practicing nutritionists, and aquaculturists. It covers
the known nutrient requirements and deficiency effects for
different fishes, and digestion and metabolism of nutrients and
energy. It discusses nutrient sources and preparation of practical
and research feeds. It gives directions for conducting fish
nutrition and feeding experiments. Feeding practices for salmonids,
channel catfish, tilapias, shrimps and hybrid striped bass are
presented. Since the first edition of this book was printed, the
National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences has
revised the nutrient requirements for fish. These revisions are in
the present edition. Other additions to this revised edition are
chapters on nutrition and fish health, and bioavailability of
nutrients. Each original chapter has been meticulously revised and
updated with new information. Aquaculture is a dynamic area and new
technologies are being introduced continuously; therefore, some of
the material discussed in this revised edition may become obsolete
quickly. Nonetheless, the material presented has been thoughtfully
selected and updated to make it of maximum use to persons whose
interests range from general aquaculture to animal nutrition to
feed manufacture.
