Aquaculture: Farming Aquatic Animals and Plants (Fishing News Books)

"This exciting, new and comprehensive book covers all major aspects of the aquaculture of fish, shellfish and algae in freshwater and marine environments including nutrition and feed production." International Aquafeed, 2005 "Do we really need yet another book about aquaculture? As far as this 502-page work goes, the answer is a resounding 'yes'. The experience and knowledge of 27 experts in their fields has been combined into one comprehensive document edited by Australians John Lucas and Paul Southgate. This book provides the latest information on the culture of fish, shellfish and algae in fresh and marine water, both to academics involved in aquaculture research and teaching and to fish farmers who need reviews of pertinent topics related to aquaculture."Thematic chapters provide critical reviews of special topics, with theories and literature reviews followed by practical examples. Thus, rather than just providing mere facts for fish farmers, the text is often thought-provoking and the chapters are structured so as to teach and advise."This book will definitely find a place in university libraries, in the offices of policy-makers and with economists looking for production and marketing figures. Throughout, there is ample realism in the writing approach and many real-life examples to back up the conclusions drawn. Fish farmers can benefit greatly from the thematic chapters, as well as from those pertaining to the specific plant or animal they are keeping or intending to farm. Also, they may explore new species, using the wealth of information supplied." African Journal of Aquatic Science "Anyone studying the subject or working or in any way interested in aquaculture would be well advised to aquire and study this wide-ranging book. One of the real 'bibles' on the aquaculture industry at this important stage of its development." Fishing Boat World, 2006 and also Ausmarine, 2006

Hydroponics: Soilless Gardening Explained

by: Les Bridgewood

Plants need nutrients, air, water, and light with a little warmth to survive. Traditionally these have been provided by soil, but hydroponic techniques allow plants not only to survive but also to thrive by gaining the perfect balance of nutrients from a regulated solution. This book looks at the flood and drain method, drip feed, Nutrient Film Technique, aeroponics, and aquaponics. It offers a detailed examination of nutrient content and the strength of solution, advice on how to grow a variety of plants and how to control pests, a simple-to-follow guide to how to arrange and automate a greenhouse, and step-by-step instruction on how to build your own hydroponic systems. Without the need for stooping or weeding, hydroponics is ideal for anyone with back problems or mobility impairment, and superb for children, who can follow and monitor the plants' growth.

Sustainable Freshwater Aquacultures: The Complete Guide from Backyard to Investor

by: Nick Romanowski

Sustainable Freshwater Aquaculture is the most complete, accessible and affordable guide to freshwater aquaculture in Australia, emphasizing sustainable use of all resources: whether it be on a small scale in a backyard pond, or in commercial production on broad acres. The book includes detailed information from design and construction of ponds to water quality, enhancing production through aeration, filtration and water treatment wetlands, foods and feeding, breeding and propagating aquatic animals and plants, sources of stock and polyculture (mixing fish, crustaceans, other animals, and plants for greater yields). It even offers information on learning the basics of aquaculture through the keeping and breeding of aquarium fish. And across all its wide-ranging explanation and discussion, the book retains its focus on two key themes: sustainability and profitability. Sustainable Freshwater Aquaculture is a beautifully illustrated book that contains over 80 color photos and some ten black-line drawings.
