The Economics of Salmon Aquaculture / Fishing News Books (PDF)

First published in 1990, The Economics of Salmon Aquaculture
was the first book to systematically analyse the salmon aquaculture
industry, from both a market and production perspective. Since
publication of the first edition of this book, the salmon
aquaculture industry has grown at a phenomenal rate, with salmon
now being consumed in more than 100 countries worldwide. This
second edition of a very popular and successful book brings the
reader right up to date with all the major current issues
pertaining to salmon aquaculture.

Commencing with an overview of the production process in
aquaculture, the following chapters provide in-depth coverage of
the sources of the world's supply of salmon, the growth in
productivity, technological changes, environmental issues, markets,
market structure and competitiveness, lessons that can be learnt
from the culture of other species, optimal harvesting techniques,
production planning, and investment in salmon farms.

Written by Frank Ashe and Trond Bjørndal, two of the
world's leading experts in the economics of aquaculture, this
second edition of The Economics of Salmon Aquaculture
provides the salmon aquaculture industry with an essential
reference work, including a wealth of commercially important
information. This book is also a valuable resource for upper level
students and professionals in aquaculture and economics, and
libraries in all universities and research establishments where
these subjects are studied and taught should have copies of this
important book on their shelves.
