Informationen zum Autor James H. Tidwell is Professor and Chair of the Division of Aquaculture at the Aquaculture Research Center at Kentucky State University. Klappentext Aquaculture is an increasingly diverse industry with an ever-growing number of species cultured and production systems available to professionals. A basic understanding of production systems is vital to the successful practice of aquaculture.Published with the World Aquaculture Society, Aquaculture Production Systems captures the huge diversity of production systems used in the production of shellfish and finfish in one concise volume that allows the reader to better understand how aquaculture depends upon and interacts with its environment.The systems examined range from low input methods to super-intensive systems. Divided into five sections that each focus on a distinct family of systems, Aquaculture Production Systems serves as an excellent text to those just being introduced to aquaculture as well as being a valuable reference to well-established professionals seeking information on production methods. Zusammenfassung * Provides a valuable survey of key production systems that will allow the reader to better understand how aquaculture depends upon and interacts with its environment. * Looks at a variety of systems currently used in the production of shellfish and finfish. These systems range from low input methods to super-intensive systems. Inhaltsverzeichnis Contributors xi Preface xiv Acknowledgments xvi 1 The Role of Aquaculture 3 James H.
