Biology of Farmed Fish (Βιολογία ιχθύων υδατοκαλλιέργειας - έκδοση στα αγγλικά)

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.
