New technologies in Aquaculture: Improving Production Efficiency,
Quality and Environmental Management

The book:

- reviews recent advances in improvements in aquaculture production
- focuses on the genetic improvement and reproduction of farmed species,
including genome-based technologies
- discusses key health issues, including advances in disease diagnosis,
vaccine development and other emerging methods to control pathogens in
aquaculture
- examines the design of a range of aquaculture production systems and
addresses key environmental issues
- is a standard reference for aquaculture professionals and academics in the
field

With wild stocks declining due to over-fishing, aquaculture will have a more
significant role to play in meeting future demand for fresh fish.
Developments in research continue to lead to improvements in aquaculture
production systems, resulting in increased production efficiency, higher
product quality for consumers and a more sustainable industry. New
technologies in aquaculture reviews essential advances in these areas.

Part one focuses on the genetic improvement of farmed species and control of
reproduction, with chapters on genome-based technologies in aquaculture
research, selective breeding and the production of single sex and sterile
populations, among other topics. Parts two and three review key issues in
health, diet and husbandry, such as the control of viral and parasitic
diseases, diet and husbandry techniques to improve disease resistance,
advances in diets for particular fish species and the impact of harmful
algal bloom on shellfisheries aquaculture. Chapters in Parts three and four
then examine the design of different aquaculture production systems,
including offshore technologies, tank-based recirculating systems and ponds,
and key environmental issues, such as the prediction and assessment of the
impact of aquaculture. Concluding chapters focus on farming new species.

With its well-known editors and distinguished international team of
contributors, New technologies in aquaculture is an essential purchase for
professionals and researchers in the aquaculture industry.
