As the expansion in world aquaculture continues at a very highrate, so does the need for information on feeding of cultivatedfish and shellfish. In the larval and juvenile phases of manyspecies, the use of manufactured feed is not possible. Thisimportant book covers in detail the biology and culture of the mainlive prey and microalgae used as feeds in the aquaculture of majorcommercial species including shrimps, sea bass, halibut, cod andbivalves.
Contents include comprehensive details of the status of marineaquaculture in relation to live prey, and chapters covering thebiology, production, harvesting, processing and nutritional valueof microalgae and the main prey species: rotifers, Artemiaand copepods.
The editors have drawn together an impressive international teamof contributors, providing a work that is set to become thestandard reference and practical guide on the subject for manyyears to come.
Live Feeds in Marine Aquaculture is an essential purchasefor anyone involved in marine aquaculture, including fish farmers,researchers, and personnel in feed and equipment companiessupplying the aquaculture trade. An extremely valuable tool as areference and practical manual for students and professionalsalike; libraries in all universities and research establishmentswhere biological and aquatic sciences and aquaculture are studiedand taught, should have copies available on their shelves.
