Learn to maximize tilapia production in different areas around the
world Tilapia is the second-most cultured fish species in the
world, and its production is increasing each year. However, for
several reasons profit margins remain slim. Tilapia: Biology,
Culture, and Nutrition presents respected international experts
detailing every aspect of tilapia production around the world.
Biology, breeding and larval rearing, farming techniques, feeding
issues, post-harvest technology, and industry economics are clearly
presented. This concise yet extensive reference provides the latest
research and practical information to efficiently and economically
maximize production in diverse locales, conditions, and climates.
Tilapia: Biology, Culture, and Nutrition comprehensively explores
all types of tilapia with a detailed biologic description of the
fish that takes readers from egg through harvesting. The book
authoritatively discusses production issues such as feed nutrition,
temperature, water quality, parasites, and disease control to guide
readers on how to best encourage fast, efficient growth. Economic
and marketing information are examined, including industry data and
projections by country. Each chapter approaches a specific facet of
tilapia and provides the most up-to-date research available in that
area. This resource gives the most current, detailed information
needed for effective tilapia farming in one compact economical
volume. Extensively referenced with an abundance of clear, helpful
tables, photographs, and figures. Tilapia: Biology, Culture, and
Nutrition discusses in detail: complete biology, including sex
ratios, optimum temperatures for growth and spawning, water quality
parameters, and disease tolerance industry predictions hormonal
control of growth genetic improvement sex determination,
manipulation, and control seed production culture practices earthen
and lined pond production culture in flowing water cage culture
feed formulation and processing, and feeding management soil,
water, and effluent quality saline tolerance levels with optimum
rate of acclimation to seawater polyculture of tilapia with shrimp
bottom soil conditions nutrient requirements with non-nutrient
components parasites and diseases Tilapia: Biology, Culture, and
Nutrition is essential reading for aquaculturists, nutritionists,
geneticists, hatchery managers, feed formulators, feed mill
operators, extension specialists, tilapia growers, fish
farmers/producers, educators, disease specialists, aquaculture
veterinarians, policy makers, educators, and students.

This exciting new book provides practical guidance and advice for
individuals who are seeking to manage and develop a successful
aquaculture business. Starting with an overview of the types of
challenges faced by managers of aquaculture businesses, the book
then presents and contrasts the differences in challenges faced by
new, start-up businesses and those that have been in business for
many years. The book includes step-by-step guidance on how to find
key markets, locate customers and determine their preferences, how
to develop estimates of capital requirements for land, construction
of buildings and production facilities, and to purchase equipment.
Guidance is given to the reader on practical aspects of developing
a financing plan, including the key financial statements that show
early indication of potential problems. Comprehensive coverage is
also provided of the various types of permits and regulations, as
well as the magnitude of costs and delays that can occur for an
aquaculture business to be in compliance. Finally, advice is given
on keeping an eye on emerging trends, signs of changing consumer
preferences and demand, and external threats and opportunities.
Written by Carole Engle, known and respected worldwide, Aquaculture
Businesses is an essential internationally-applicable resource for
aquaculture entrepreneurs and business men and women who are the
management-level decision makers for new start-up businesses, as
well as for existing businesses that need to continue to grow and
change with market dynamics. All aquaculture farm owners, and
suppliers to the industry, should have this excellent resource to
hand. Libraries in all universities and research establishments
where aquaculture, business studies, economics or marketing are
studied and taught should have copies of this book on their
shelves.
