From the Back Cover Feed and Feeding Practices in Aquaculture, Second Edition continues to play an important role in the successful production of fish and other seafood for human consumption. This is an excellent resource for understanding the key properties of aquafeed, advances in feed formulation and manufacturing techniques, and the practicalities of feeding systems and strategies. Useful for anyone working in R&D in the feed production as well as aimed at nutritionists, farm owners and technicians, as well as those and academics/postgraduate students with a research interest in the area. Many new updates have been integrated to reflect recent advances within the market, and new chapters have been added. Special emphasis on up and coming trends such as multi-trophic level aquaculture for marine cage systems, and new technologies monitoring of fish feeding patterns have been added.
