This extensive work focuses on an important group of temperate
freshwater fish, approaching the topic from the perspectives of
both biology and aquaculture. It compiles the latest research on
fish belonging to the Percidae family and describes in detail all
biological aspects relevant to the culture of different species,
including ecology, reproductive physiology, feeding and nutrition,
genetics, immunology, stress physiology and behavior. It also
considers commercial fish production and fish farming topics, such
as protocols for induction of gonad maturation, spawning,
incubation and larval rearing. Expert contributors not only provide
a critical peer review of scientific literature but also original
research data, and identify effective practical techniques. The
book features chapters on systematics, ecology and evolution, on
development, metabolism and husbandry of early life stages and on
growth, metabolism, behavior and husbandry of juvenile and grow-out
stages. Furthermore, the authors consider genetic improvement and
domestication, as well as diseases and health management, crucial
to the readers' understanding of these fish and how they can be
cultured. Both researchers of percid fish biology and aquaculture
professionals who are considering intensive and pond culture of
percid fishes will value this timely and comprehensive handbook.)
