Synopsis Of Biological Data On The European Abalone Ormer Haliotis Tuberculata Linnaeus 1758 Gastropoda Haliotidae

Presents information that can be useful to facilitate the aquaculture of a wide variety of food species. Operation of an economically successful aquaculture venture depends upon the complete life cycle of a species occurring in captivity. Possible solutions to how such complete control of life cycles of important food organisms might be accomplished are presented in each chapter. Whereas this volume (Part A) deals with Seaweeds and Invertebrates, a compendium volume (Part B) deals with Fishes.

This Book is based on Aquariculture which is in accordance with the syllabus implemented under UGC/ CBCS system for Skill enhancement courses of Jammu & Kashmir University ,GCW Parade, Cluster Universities and other Indian Universities. Moreover the content of the book is also useful for Agricultural students. Authors have attempted to provide a simple, lucid, detailed, well- illustrated and up-to-date account of the basic techniques involved in cultivation of Fish. Thankful to almighty my parents and teachers for the support and constant encouragement. Constructive suggestions for further improvement of the book will be always welcomed and entertained whole heartedly.

This comprehensive volume focuses exclusively on sea snails (or gastropods), which are popular food items and occupy an important role in the commercial shell craft industry. Familiar examples include conchs (highly sought after due to their mild flavor) and escargot, abalone, and periwinkle snails. This book covers the profile (habitat, distribution, morphology, food and feeding, reproduction, conservation status, etc.) of about 180 species of commercial edible marine gastropod molluscs as well as their nutritional values, commercial importance, and pharmaceutical value. Also included is information on their prevalent diseases and parasites. The informative descriptions are presented in an easy-to-read style with neat illustrations.
