Applied Advanced Technologies in Marine Fish Aquaculture provides detailed overviews on the most advanced technologies for full-cycle production of marine fish, from hatchery to market. The book describes original technical protocols that were improved over the years to assist the reader in all stages of aquaculture projects development, from inception to operation, at both research and commercial scales.
Professor Daniel Benetti conveys here all his extensive and successful experience working with dozens of commercially important marine fish species in several countries throughout the world. He addresses all basic and applied aspects of marine fish aquaculture, presenting the most advanced methods and protocols for all stages of the production cycle, from broodstock reproduction and management to spawning, larval rearing and early developmental stages including nursery and growout methods.
Applied Advanced Technologies in Marine Fish Aquaculture is innovative as it takes a practical, applied approach of merging science and technology of tropical and subtropical marine fish aquaculture into a state-of-the-art compendium with detailed guidelines that will serve as seminal reference for students, researchers, managers, investors, consultants, government officers and other professionals working in the field worldwide
