Biology of Farmed Fish

Biology of Farmed Fish

 
This landmark volume considers the biology underlying fish culture, focusing on developments over the last decade. The approach is ordered according to life-stage or discipline, rather than according to species. The chapters, written by biologists who have made outstanding contributions to the international research literature, draw on examples from a range of species around the world.
