Since Canis lupus familiaris first shared a fire with man more than
15,000 years ago, dogs have been trusted and valued coworkers. Yet
the relatively new field of canine ergonomics is just beginning to
unravel the secrets of this collaboration. As with many new fields,
the literature on working dogs is scattered across several
non-overlapping disciplines from forensics and the life sciences to
medicine, security, and wildlife biology. Canine Ergonomics: The
Science of Working Dogs draws together related research from
different fields into an interdisciplinary resource of
science-based information. Providing a complete overview, from
physiology to cognition, this is the first book to discuss working
dogs from a scientific perspective. It covers a wide range of
current and potential tasks, explores ergonomic and cognitive
aspects of these tasks, and covers personality traits and
behavioral assessments of working dogs. A quick look at the
chapters, contributed by experts from across the globe and across
the multidisciplinary spectrum, illustrates the breadth and depth
of information available in this book. Traditionally, information
concerning working dogs is mostly hearsay, with the exchange of
information informal at best and non-existent at worst. Most books
available are too general in coverage or conversely, too specific.
They explain how to train a service dog or train a dog to track,
based on training lore rather than empirical methods verified with
rigorous scientific standards. This book, drawing on cutting edge
research, unifies different perspectives into one global science:
Canine Ergonomics.
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.
