Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The farming of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii has developed rapidly during recent years. Advances in techniques, and the huge expansion of world demand for this species, continue to stimulate the growth of a multi-million dollar industry. This landmark publication is a compendium of information on every aspect of the farming of M. rosenbergii. A comprehensive review of the status of freshwater prawn farming research, development and commercial practice, the book is intended to stimulate further advances in the knowledge and understanding of this important field. An extremely well-known and internationally-respected team of contributing authors have written cutting edge chapters covering all major aspects of the subject. Coverage includes biology, hatchery and grow-out culture systems, feeds and feeding, up-to-date information on the status of freshwater prawn farming around the world, post-harvest handling and processing, markets, and economics and business management. Further chapters are devoted to the culture of other prawn species, prawn capture fisheries and the sustainability of freshwater prawn culture. Contributions to the book have been brought together and edited by Michael New and Wagner Valenti, themselves widely known for their work in this area. The comprehensive information in Freshwater Prawn Culture will give an important commercial edge to anyone involved in the culture and trade of freshwater prawns. Readership should include prawn farm personnel, business managers and researchers, and invertebrate, freshwater and crustacean biologists. Copies of the book should be available on the shelves of all libraries in research establishments and universities where aquaculture and fisheries are studied and taught. Michael Bernard New, OBE is a Past-President of the World Aquaculture Society and President-Elect of the European Aquaculture Society; Wagner Cotroni Valenti is a Professor at the Aquaculture Center, São Paulo State University, Brazil.

Download or read book Farming Freshwater Prawns written by Michael B. New and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual provides information on the farming of Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Many of the techniques described are also applicable to other species of freshwater prawns that are being cultured. The manual is not a scientific text but is intended to be a practical guide to in-hatchery and on-farm management. The target audience is therefore principally farmers and extension workers. However, it is also hoped that, like the previous manual on this topic, it will be useful for lecturers and students alike in universities and other institutes that provide training in aquaculture.

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.

Download or read book Aquaculture in China written by Jian-Fang Gui and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 720 pages. 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.
