Aquaculture Engineering

Beschreibung

As aquaculture continues to grow at a rapid pace, understanding theengineering behind aquatic production facilities is of increasingimportance for all those working in the industry. Aquaculture engineering requires knowledge of the many generalaspects of engineering such as material technology, building designand construction, mechanical engineering and environmentalengineering. In this comprehensive book, Odd-Ivar Lekang introducesthese principles and demonstrates how such technical knowledge canbe applied to aquaculture systems, offering the reader coverageincluding: * Construction and design of aquatic productionfacilities * Water transportation and treatment * Different production units * Feed and feeding systems * Instrumentation and monitoring * Fish transportation and grading * Cleaning and waste handling Fish farmers and other personnel involved in the aquacultureindustry, suppliers to the fish farming business and designers andmanufacturers will find this book an invaluable resource. The bookwill be an important addition to the shelves of all libraries inuniversities and research institutions where aquaculture,agriculture and environmental sciences are studied and taught.

"Its appearance would seem to be timely as there has been a gooddeal of new technology developed in recent years. AquacultureEngineering is loaded with drawings and photographs, which are veryuseful to those who are unfamiliar with what some things beingdescribed actually look like." World Aquaculture, Vol38, No3, 2007 'Fish farmers and other personnel involved in the aquacultureindustry, suppliers to the fish farming business and designers andmanufacturers will find this book an invaluable resource. The bookwill be an important addition to the shelves of all libraries inuniversities and research institutions where aquaculture,agriculture and environmental sciences are studied andtaught.' Aquaculture Europe 'A useful book that, hopefully, will inspire successors thatfocus more on warm water aquaculture and on large-scale mariculturesuch as tuna farming.' Cision 'the book...provides a useful history and description of thecurrent state-of-the-art of aquaculture engineering.' Work Boat World, October 2007 the inclusion of worked examples to illustrate the practicalapplication of technical equations is a usefulo deature... thisbook is richly illutsrated, with many black and white photographs,line diagrams and graphs' Aquaculture Int (2007) 15: 503-504
