Culture of Cold-Water Marine Fish (PDF)

With the continuing decline of commercial stocks of wild-caught
fish, the interest in the culture of cold-water marine fish is
rapidly growing, with much ongoing research into the development of
this area. This important and timely book reviews the current and
potential future situation concerning the major exploited marine
fish species, such as cod, haddock, hake, wolf-fish, halibut,
turbot and sole.

The editors of Culture of Cold-Water Marine Fish have
drawn together and carefully edited chapters from a wide range of
international scientists. The contents list includes detailed
reviews of abiotic factors, microbial interactions, prophylaxis and
disease, live food and first feeding technologies, brood stock and
egg production, functional development, weaning and nursery,
on-growing to market size, status and perspectives for the species
covered, stock enhancement and sea ranching, and an analysis of the
finances, economics and markets for the fish species used in marine
aquaculture.

Culture of Cold-Water Marine Fish is an essential
purchase for personnel involved in marine aquaculture, whether
managing fish farms, supplying equipment and feed to the industry,
or researching, studying or teaching the subject. Marine
biologists, fisheries scientists, fish biologists, ecologists and
environmental scientists will all find much of use and interest in
this timely book. Libraries in all universities and research
establishments where these subjects are studied and taught should
have copies.
