Description

Aquaculture now supplies half of the seafood and fisheries products consumed worldwide and is gaining international significance as a source of food and income. Future demands for seafood and fisheries products can only be met by expanded aquaculture production. Such production will likely become more intensive and will depend increasingly on nutritious and efficient aquaculture feeds containing ingredients from sustainable sources. To meet this challenge, Nutrient Requirements of Fish and Shrimp provides a comprehensive summary of current knowledge about nutrient requirements of fish and shrimp and supporting nutritional science. This edition incorporates new material and significant updates to information in the 1993 edition. Among the highlights presented in this book are: Basic concepts and methodology used in experimental studies to determine the nutrient requirements of aquatic animals. A review of the digestive physiology of fish and shrimp. Extensive coverage of energy metabolism, proteins and amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates and fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Expanded information about feeding larval fish. Comprehensive examinations of the ingredients used in fish nutrition, diet formulation, and the processing of feeds for aquatic animals. New material addressing the limitations to supply and use of marine resources, particularly fishmeal and fish oil, along with an assessment of the nutritional value of fish and fish products in human nutrition. Expansive data in the form of nutrient requirement tables and tables of feed ingredients for feedstuffs commonly fed to fish and shrimp, including average composition values. This new book, which includes both nutrient requirements and the practical aspects of feeding of fish and shrimp, will be a key resource for everyone involved in aquaculture and for others responsible for the feeding and care of fish and shrimp. Nutrient Requirements of Fish and Shrimp will also aid scientists in developing new and improved approaches to satisfy the demands of the growing aquaculture industry.
