Description
Fish farming is becoming increasingly important as a source of protein in many parts of the world, but without a supply of necessary dietary constituents in the correct proportions this cannot be carried out efficiently. This book gives a condensed review of the growing volume of information from throughout the world, providing a comprehensive source of reference. There is a discussion on the factors affecting fish growth and development, the latest information on fish metabolism, and the anatomy and physiology of the digestive tract. The significance and demand for protein, lipids and carbohydrates, energy requirements and the importance of vitamins and minerals, are other topics covered. A list of the fish species mentioned in the text is included, together with their biological and economic significance for aquaculture. - from Amzon
