Applications in Aquaculture, Ecotoxicology and Pathology

Description

Aquaculture also known as aqua-farming, is the farming of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, aquatic plants, algae, and other organisms. It is increasingly important in global food production. Consequently, the control of diseases in aquaculture is essential, due to the potential environmental impacts, notably in terms of the states of health of freshwater bodies and the oceans. This book highlights the latest advances in ecotoxicology, pathology and applications in aquaculture studies. This book explains the possible uses of different management systems and novel nano-technological strategies, for the control of diseases in aquaculture. It is the definitive, classic and essential book on the subject, providing in-depth coverage across all major aspects of aquaculture. The book provides comprehensive details of the principles, applications, nutrition and diseases of this field. Beautifully illustrated in figures and with exceptional photographs, it is an essential purchase for aquaculture pathologists, veterinarians, biologists, microbiologists and immunologists, including all those working in diagnostic services worldwide. Personnel working in aquaculture farming and fisheries will also find much of great use and interest. All libraries in universities and research establishments where biological and veterinary sciences are studied and taught should have copies of this landmark publication on their shelves.
