Download or read book Freshwater Prawn Farming written by Michael B. New and published by Daya Books. This book was released on 1982 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been prepared on the basis of Thai experience in the farming of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii. It has a practical orientation as it was written for extension and fishery officers as well as for practising aquaculturists willing to start freshwater prawn farming. The farming of this prawn is of recent origin, but is spreading very rapidly in several countries which followed the well-divulgated example of Hawaiian prawn farmers. At the time in which this manual was written, Thailand had taken the world leadership in terms of production as the result of an active long-term involvement of both the official and private sectors. Since there is already a great deal of mainly scientific literature on this species, this manual was conceived to fill a gap in the existing literature, in order to provide information on how to go about M rosenbergii farming answering the numerous requests from member Governments to FAO. It contains some general information on the biology of the species and much more detailed information on larval rearing and pond culture. The Thai practice forms the core of the manual but reference to other alternative techniques used elsewhere is given as well as additional literature reference relevant to each topic dealt with in the text, for readers willing to enlarge their knowledge. Annexes on water filtration, nutrition of larvae, description of the various larvel stages, ponds feeds, seine set design, stock estimation, and management strategy for Continuous culture technique, are also provided as well as a glossary of scientific and technical terms used in the main text. Contents: Chpter 1: Introduction, Chapter 2: Biology; Distribution, Life History, Morphology, Chapter 3: Hatchery Site Requirements; Water, Other Requirements, Chapter 4: Hatchery Facilities; The Larval Tank, Holding and Mixing Tanks, Air, Water, Pumps, Monitoring Water Quality, Miscellaneous, Chapter 5: Hatchery Operations; Egg Supply and Hatching, Larval Environment, Feeding, Growth Rateand Metamorphosis, Harvesting and Holding Post Larvae, Transporting Post Larvae, Problems, Alternative Hatchery Techniques, Chapter 6: Rearing Site Requirements; Market, Water, Power, Topography and Soil, Access, Sympathetic Authorities, Labour, Chapter 7: Farm Facilities; The Pond, Water, Aeration, Miscellaneous, Chapter 8: Farm Operation; Pond Management, Stocking, Feeding, Monitoring, Harvesting, Post Harvest, Problems, Alternative Rearing Techniques, Appendix 1: Water Filtration, Appendix 2: Upward Flow Filtration, Appendix 3: Production of Brine Shrimp Nauplii (BSN) Feed for Larvae, Appendix 4: Production of Prepared Feed (PF) for Larvae, Appendix 5: Key to Larval Stages of Freshwater Prawns Macrobrachium rosenbergii, Appendix 6: Stock Estimation, Appendix 7: Pond Feeds, Appendix 8: Seine Net Design (for Continuous Culture System), Appendix 9: Example of Management Strategy for Continuous culture Technique, Appendix 10: Glossary of Terms and Conversions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crustacean Farming: Ranching and Culture, Second edition. John F. Wickins and Daniel O'C Lee. The second edition of an extremely well-received book, Crustacean Farming, deals with all cultivated crustaceans of commercial significance, shrimp, prawns, crayfish, lobsters, crabs, and spiny lobsters, and examines the criteria by which both the feasibility and desirability of farming proposals are assessed. The characteristics and production methods of farmed and candidate crustacean species are described in sufficient detail to enable areas of profitable involvement to be distinguished form other opportunities presenting only very high risks and possibilities for serious loss. Coverage extends right from broodstock acquisition and management through to the operation of hatcheries, nurseries and on-growing units to key aspects of processing and marketing. New to this second edition are ranching and re-stocking operations together with the culture of ornamental shrimp and small crustaceans used as live food in fish and shellfish hatcheries. The sections on crustacean diseases, genetics and nutrition have been extended in the light of recent research advances. Examples of investment and operating costs of the different culture options are compared and an analysis of current trends in world crustacean markets is presented to assist in economic and financial appraisal. Special consideration is given to the place of crustacean farming within the economics of developing nations in relation to social and environmental impact in order to promote awareness of the wider implications of global developments. The consequences of recent research and technical developments are considered, together with concerns over genetic and animal welfare issues. Specific areas where further advances in technology are needed to improve the reliability or productivity of farming systems are highlighted. This important book is a vital tool and reference work for all those involved with crustacean farming worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fish have been a major component of our diet and it has been suggested that fish/seafood consumption contributed to the development of the human brain, and this together with the acquisition of bipedalism, perhaps made us what we are. In the modern context global fish consumption is increasing. However, unlike our other staples, until a few years back the greater proportion of our fish supplies were of a hunted origin. This scenario is changing and a greater proportion of fish we consume now is of farmed origin. Aquaculture, the farming of waters, is thought to have originated in China, many millennia ago. Nevertheless, it transformed into a major food sector only since the second half of the last century, and continues to forge ahead, primarily in the developing world. China leads the global aquaculture production in volume, in the number of species that are farmed, and have contributed immensely to transforming the practices from an art to a science. This book attempts to capture some of the key elements and practices that have contributed to the success of Chinese aquaculture. The book entails contributions from over 100 leading experts in China, and provides insights into some aquaculture practices that are little known to the rest of the world. This book will be essential reading for aquaculturists, practitioners, researchers and students, and planners and developers.
