Understanding the biology of the innumerable number of aquatic
species on our planet is the focus of sustained research efforts.
Environmental degradation, management or rehabilitation of wild
stocks, and the forecasted climatic changes are fueling interest in
the study of the ecology, feeding behavior, and nutrition of
aquatic animals in their natural habitat. In parallel, the rapid
expansion of aquaculture in many parts of the world has supported
vigorous research programs on nutrition, and feeding of cultivated
aquatic organisms. More than 250 aquatic species are cultivated on
a commercial scale using a wide variety of production systems. This
great diversity results in great opportunities and tremendous
challenges. Topics covered in this book are as diverse as, feeding
ecology of fish in their natural habitat, feeding behavior,
digestive anatomy, biochemistry and physiology of different fish
species at different life stages, the impact of diet on
gastro-intestinal development and health, nutrition and disease
resistance, and modeling conversion of food or feed inputs into
biomass.
