| Format | PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Aquatic Animal Medicine Specialty: Fish Health and Aquaculture Nutrition DESCRIPTION ----------- Fish Nutrition, 4th Edition stands as the definitive reference text for veterinarians, aquaculture professionals, and researchers working in aquatic animal health and fish farming operations. This thoroughly updated edition provides comprehensive coverage of the nutritional requirements, feeding strategies, and dietary formulation principles essential for maintaining optimal health and production in both farmed and ornamental fish species. With the global aquaculture industry continuing its rapid expansion, understanding the complex nutritional needs of diverse fish species has never been more critical to ensuring sustainable production, disease prevention, and animal welfare. This authoritative volume integrates the latest scientific research with practical application, covering everything from fundamental nutrient biochemistry to advanced feed manufacturing technologies. The text addresses the unique physiological and metabolic characteristics of fish that distinguish their nutritional requirements from terrestrial animals, including their protein-sparing mechanisms, essential fatty acid needs, and mineral absorption pathways. Readers will find detailed information on species-specific nutritional requirements, the impact of nutrition on immune function and disease resistance, and the role of diet in reproductive performance and early life stage development. The fourth edition incorporates cutting-edge developments in fish nutrition science, including advances in nutrigenomics, functional feeds, immunonutrition, and sustainable ingredient alternatives. Special attention is given to emerging challenges such as replacing fishmeal and fish oil with plant-based and novel protein sources, optimizing feed efficiency to reduce environmental impact, and formulating diets that support fish health in the face of climate change and intensive production systems. This essential resource equips practitioners with evidence-based nutritional strategies to optimize growth, health, and welfare across all life stages and production systems. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive coverage of macro and micronutrient requirements for major cultured fish species including salmonids, cyprinids, tilapia, catfish, and marine species • Detailed analysis of feed ingredients, nutrient bioavailability, antinutritional factors, and quality assessment methods for aquafeeds • In-depth examination of the relationship between nutrition and fish health, including immune function, stress resistance, and disease prevention • Practical guidance on diet formulation, feed manufacturing processes, feeding strategies, and feed management in various aquaculture systems • Current information on sustainable aquafeed development, alternative protein sources, and reducing the environmental footprint of aquaculture nutrition • Species-specific nutritional requirements for ornamental fish commonly seen in veterinary practice • Evidence-based approaches to nutritional management of common production challenges including poor growth, nutritional deficiencies, and metabolic disorders TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Aquatic veterinarians and veterinary practitioners treating ornamental and food fish species • Aquaculture nutritionists and feed formulation specialists working in commercial fish production • Veterinary students and graduate students specializing in aquatic animal health and aquaculture medicine • Fish health professionals, aquaculture consultants, and extension specialists advising fish farming operations • Researchers in fish nutrition, aquaculture, and aquatic animal science seeking a comprehensive reference text INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$220.00 |
