Reviews of the First Edition "This exciting, new and comprehensive book covers all major aspects of the aquaculture of fish, shellfish and algae in freshwater and marine environments including nutrition and feed production." —International Aquafeed "Do we really need yet another book about aquaculture? As far as this 502-page work goes, the answer is a resounding 'yes'. This book will definitely find a place in university libraries, in the offices of policy-makers and with economists looking for production and marketing figures. Fish farmers can benefit greatly from the thematic chapters, as well as from those pertaining to the specific plant or animal they are keeping or intending to farm. Also, they may explore new species, using the wealth of information supplied." —African Journal of Aquatic Science "Anyone studying the subject or working in any way interested in aquaculture would be well advised to acquire and study this wide-ranging book. One of the real 'bibles' on the aquaculture industry." —Fishing Boat World and also Ausmarine

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1990, The Economics of Salmon Aquaculture was the first book to systematically analyse the salmon aquaculture industry, from both a market and production perspective. Since publication of the first edition of this book, the salmon aquaculture industry has grown at a phenomenal rate, with salmon now being consumed in more than 100 countries worldwide. This second edition of a very popular and successful book brings the reader right up to date with all the major current issues pertaining to salmon aquaculture. Commencing with an overview of the production process in aquaculture, the following chapters provide in-depth coverage of the sources of the world’s supply of salmon, the growth in productivity, technological changes, environmental issues, markets, market structure and competitiveness, lessons that can be learnt from the culture of other species, optimal harvesting techniques, production planning, and investment in salmon farms. Written by Frank Ashe and Trond Bjørndal, two of the world's leading experts in the economics of aquaculture, this second edition of The Economics of Salmon Aquaculture provides the salmon aquaculture industry with an essential reference work, including a wealth of commercially important information. This book is also a valuable resource for upper level students and professionals in aquaculture and economics, and libraries in all universities and research establishments where these subjects are studied and taught should have copies of this important book on their shelves.
Download or read book Aquaculture sector situational analysis of Uzbekistan written by Diffey, S., Kurbanov, A. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2022-07-07 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uzbekistan has abundant inland water resources, namely rivers and lakes, which are suitable for freshwater aquaculture. However, the production of fish is generally low compared to the resource potential due to the collapse of collectivized farms, a lack of interest in commercial operations and producer associations by local farmers, and the limited capacity of government extension and research facilities to promote fish production. Growing interest by the Government in fish production has led to an increase in investment in the aquaculture sector. This has resulted in significant gains in fish production in recent years. Government land distribution schemes for smallholder fish farmers to establish individual fishponds to produce carp are a major contributing factor to these gains. There is no existing national fisheries or aquaculture sector specific development policy or plan, and reference to government policy towards the sector are through a number of existing presidential decrees. Given that the sector has witnessed a significant increase in fish production over recent years, addressing this issue (using other country fisheries policy and legislation as a potential model) was seen as an important first step for any coherent strategic plan for the sector. The report was compiled in 2020 as one of the outcomes of the TCP/UZB/3703 project focusing on national review and strategy for aquaculture sector and fish value chain in Uzbekistan. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this report was based solely on data sourced from the internet, academic papers and field data provided by the national consultant, including aquaculture value chain mapping and analysis of the project. The report includes a description of the Uzbekistan aquaculture sector, analyses its problems and opportunities, and presents options for its development.
Download or read book Feeds for the Aquaculture Sector written by Laura Gasco and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief discusses potential alternative sources for feeds in aquaculture fish diet, and explains that the future of aquaculture’s development is dependent on the costs of fishmeal and fish oil. Considering that the increasing costs of traditional feeds constrain this development, research is looking into alternatives, which can ensure adequate nutrition for animals’ growth. This work reviews the use of alternative plant, microbial and insect protein sources, evaluating in particular their impact on growth, nutrient digestibility, fillet quality traits and sensorial perception in the most important farmed marine and freshwater fish species. The Brief specifically summarizes the pros and cons of plant oils from oilseeds, which can on the one hand be a sustainable substitute for fish oil, but which are on the other hand less rich in omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The feeding might therefore result in an undesired reduced nutritional value of the flesh of farmed fish. The authors also explore the possible use of fishery discards as potential aquaculture feed source. Since the landing of by-catch will with the new Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) become obligatory (instead of simply returning it to the sea, often dead), suitable uses of what must not be used for human consumption can be investigated. The authors give an outlook whether this might become a sensible alternative to improve the management of discards and create more sustainable fisheries. The Brief also addresses the issues of additives to aquafeeds, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but also immunostimulants and enzymes. The authors discuss which effects these additives may have on fish growth, welfare, reproduction and health status in aquacultures.
