The Aquaculture Sourcebook is an  introductory  text and ready reference for information on the fresh-,  brackish-,  and salt-water farming of both fish and shellfish, as well  as of  several important algae. Until now, such material has been  available  only in scattered publications; but the Aquaculture  Sourcebook  incorporates all the feasibility data pertinent to farming  aquacultural species in North America into one easy-to-use text. It  will be welcomed not only by current and future aquaculturists, but  also by fisheries, seafood company managers, biologists, teachers,  and students. The Aquaculture Sourcebook has been designed to satisfy  the needs of fisheries, scientists, and commercial aquaculturists by  providing, in a handy and well-organized format, information vital  for successful North American aquacultural ventures. Concise details  are given for over a hundred individual speices, including not only  those raised for human consumption, but also organisms reared for  feed, bait, or other purposes. Each entry in this valuable volume  covers such relevant material as: *the scientific and common names of  the organism *its visual appearance and distinctive characteristics  *habitat range specifications *species reproduction and development  *age- and growth-related factors *specific parasites an diseases  *potential predators and\/or competitive species *its prospects for  future aquacultural success Key groups of closely related species are  discussed in a geographical context, highlighting areas which each  will find the habitat best for its survival. Great care has been  taken to specify ranges of tolerable salinity and optimum temperature  for candidate species, and emphasis has been placed on creating  aquacultural environments that replicate those normally habitated in  nature. Comprehensive, informative, and accessible to layperson and  scientist alike, the   Aqualculture Sourcebook is both the perfect  desktop reference for anyone establishing an aquacultural facility,  and a ready reference to help maintain one.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781468414301\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Guide to North American Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781468414301","offer_id":39417054036061,"sku":"9781468414301","price":106.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/6c2f8959-3350-4d4a-823e-ff4a6df6dcc6.jpg?v=1761716191","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/aquaculture-sourcebook-a-guide-to-north-american-species-von-k-k-hale-edwin-s-iversen","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
