Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides a comprehensive description of the production and husbandry of aquatic animals, in particular the most important farmed species of crustaceans, molluscs, amphibians, and reptiles. The farming of fish is the subject of a parallel volume.
Each chapter offers a balance of information on current world farming production, principles and practices of husbandry, and key research areas which made farming possible or which are still constraining further development.
