Fish Nutrition

"Fish Nutrition, Fourth Edition is an up-to-date, authoritative presentation of all key elements of the nutrition of fish and crustaceans. Aquaculture is rapidly expanding, and more than 200 herbivorous and carnivorous species occupy a diverse range of ecological niches. They have evolved to utilize a wide array of food sources. This new edition highlights these differences and covers the complexity and challenges associated with fish nutrition. It addresses nutrient requirements for producing high-quality, healthful, and sustainable resources; the essential nutrients for fish species, including proteins and amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids; a feed quality assessment; and the role of feeds on the community structure of the microbiome. Fish Nutrition, Fourth Edition is an ideal resource for ichthyologists, as well as researchers and aquaculture professionals who seek the most advanced and thorough scientific context on contemporary fish nutrition"--Page 4 of cover.
