Description
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food production sector in the world. With demand for seafood increasing at astonishing rates, the optimization of production methods is vital. One of the primary restrictions to continued growth is the supply of juveniles from hatcheries. Addressing these constraints, Advances in aquaculture hatchery technology provides a comprehensive, systematic guide to the use of current and emerging technologies in enhancing hatchery production; it also examines reproduction and larval rearing, including genetic improvement and microdiets. Aquaculture hatchery water supply and treatment systems, principles of finfish broodstock management, genome preservation, and varied aspects of nutrition and feeding are discussed in addition to larval health management and microbial management for bacterial pathogen control. Advances in hatchery technology are also discussed. With its distinguished editors and international team of expert contributors, this ebook is an authoritative review of the field for hatchery operators, scientists, marine conservators and educators. 670 p.
