This book deals with recent and upcoming technologies of breeding
freshwater ornamental fish. It covers in detail areas such as
status, breeding techniques, food and health management and
marketing of freshwater ornamental fishes. There is a separate
chapter on breeding of indigenous freshwater ornamental fishes.
Emphasis is given on national and international legislation related
to ornamental fish export and import. The book contains a useful
chapter on the importance and role of ornamental plants and
accessories. Aquarium making, decoration, water quality management
and maintenance have also been well explained for hobbyists. This
title has been co-published with NIPA. Not for sale in South Asia
(India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Bhutan)
The edited book covers the climate change impact broadly across the
ecosystems including increasing pressure on livelihood and food
supplies to the society. Climate change, in particular, rising
temperatures, can have both direct and indirect effects on global
fish production. Fisheries and aquaculture is one of the important
sectors of agriculture for livelihood and nutritional security.
Fish, being poikilothermic in nature are very sensitive to any
change in the ecosystem. In commercial aquaculture, it is crucial
to ensure that environmental rearing conditions are adequate, if
not optimal, for fish growth, welfare and profitability. Thus, the
book develops an understanding regarding changes in relevant
environmental parameters and its affect in the growth and
physiological performance of fish. Fish feeds on natural food
organisms, but the adverse changes in the ecosystem attracts
nutritionists to provide better food and feeding strategies for
optimum growth and survival of the fish. it is become necessary to
develop preparedness about the changes and their mitigation
strategies through fish nutrition and feeding strategies. This book
addresses the potential impact of climate change on the aquaculture
sector under sections - Assessment of Global Warming Impact on
aquatic resources and fish production, Adaptation in Fish Digestive
Physiology and Biochemistry under Changing Environment,
Prioritization of fish feed technology with respect to changing
climate for adaptation and mitigation, Strategies and planning on
reproductive physiology and feed management for biodiversity
conservation. The chapters are contributed by the experts in the
field of fish nutrition and physiology. The book assists fish
farmers, entrepreneurs, planners and advisors specifically related
to nutritional and physico-biochemical changes in fishes to adapt
or mitigate the adverse effect of climate change.
