Culture Of Salmonid Fishes

Salmonids represent the primary coldwater fishes of culture interest in the world today; species discussed in this work were selected on the basis of their importance to the aquaculture community. In recognition of the growing concern that aquaculture development has the potential to negatively impact the natural environment, a chapter on controversies surrounding salmonid culture has been included. The first chapter provides a summary of life history information of the species covered in the book.

Culture of Nonsalmonid Freshwater Fishes, 2nd Edition presents an expanded, updated description of important techniques and practices for the culture of some of the most widely cultured nonsalmonid species used for human consumption (channel catfish, tilapia, carp) for stocking freshwater bodies for recreational fishing (bass, walleye, striped bass), and for bait (minnows). This new edition features the latest information on spawning, nutritional requirements, special culture requirements, tolerance to various water quality parameters, and types of diseases that can occur. It is an essential book for all aquaculturalists, agency fishery biologists, and students interested in freshwater aquaculture.

As salmonids have been reared for more than a century in many countries, one might expect that principles are well established and provide a solid foundation for salmonid aquaculture. Indeed, some of the methods used today in salmonid rearing are nearly identical to those employed one hundred years ago. Areas of salmonid research today include nutrition, smolt and stress physiology, genetics and biotechnology. The purpose of this book is to provide a useful synthesis of the biology and culture of salmonid fishes. The important practices in salmonid culture as well as the theory behind them is described. This volume will be of interest to students, researchers, fisheries biologists and managers as well as practising aquaculturists.

'Amateur Fish Culture' is a practical guide to small-scale aquaculture from the early 20th century. With easy-to-follow instructions and practical tips, author Charles Edward Walker shares his knowledge on stocking waters, raising trout, and managing other fish species. While some of the suggestions may not be suitable for large-scale operations, this book is an essential resource for anyone looking to start their own backyard fish farm.
