Correct nutrition in farmed animals is essential to healthy stock
and an economically sustainable high yield. In aquaculture,
nutrition is particularly important as the costs of feed can be 40
or 50% of total production costs. In recent years, the aquaculture
feed industry has advanced rapidly with the introduction of many
commercially available feeds containing scientifically formulated
and balanced diets to enhance growth and yield in specific species.
Many feeds also now include ingredients aimed particularly at
enhancement of stock health. The field of nutritional pathology is
concerned with the study of those health disorders and ailments
which result from nutrient deficiencies or dietary imbalances. This
exciting new book provides an up-to-date and user-friendly
practical guide on nutritional pathology in the main commercially
farmed species of fish and shrimp. The book commences with an
overview of the importance of nutrition in health management and
the interaction between culture system, disease and the
environment. The book then covers disorders in protein nutrition,
lipid nutrition, mineral nutrition and vitamin nutrition. The book
also encompasses comprehensive details of endogenous plant
anti-nutritional factors, exogenous feed contaminants, and feed
biosecurity. A Handbook of Nutritional Disorders and Diseases of
Fish and Shrimp is an ideal resource for personnel within the
aquaculture industry and suppliers to the industry. Particularly
personnel within animal feed companies and animal health companies,
especially any scientist responsible for feed formulation within
animal feed companies. Fish farm managers and technicians will also
find it useful, as well as companies providing fish feeding
equipment, personnel within universities and research
establishments where aquaculture is studied and taught, including
biochemists, chemists, biological scientists, fish pathologists,
food and feed scientists, nutritionists, fish veterinarians, animal
scientists and aquaculture scientists. The proposed book will also
provide a reference for students who are taking up courses such as
Fish Nutritional Biochemistry, Fish Health, and Fish Nutrition and
Feed Formulation, amongst others.
