Larval Fish Nutrition (ePub)

Nutrition is particularly important in the healthy development of
fish during their early-life stages. Understanding the unique
nutritional needs of larval fish can improve the efficiency and
quality of fish reared in a culture setting. Larval Fish
Nutrition comprehensively explores the nutritional
requirements, developmental physiology, and feeding and weaning
strategies that will allow aquaculture researchers and
professionals to develop and implement improved culture practices.

Larval Fish Nutrition is logically divided into three
sections. The first section looks at the role of specific nutrient
requirements in the healthy digestive development of fish. The
second section looks at the impacts if nutritional physiology on
fish through several early-life stages. The final section looks at
feeding behaviors and the benefits and drawbacks to both live feed
and microparticulate diets in developing fish.

Written by a team of leading global researchers, Larval Fish
Nutrition will be an indispensible resource for aquaculture
researchers, professionals, and advanced students.
