Academic Press Recent Advances in Aquaculture Microbial Technology

Recent Advances in Aquaculture Microbial Technology emphasizes various topics on microbiology related technology for aquaculture development and discusses different types of microbiological applications, thus serving as an all-inclusive reference which consolidates microbial technologies adopted in the field. The book covers the history and development of microbial technology in aquaculture as well as aquaculture microbiology, diversity and the role of microbes in aquaculture systems. In addition, it presents the beneficial microbial communities in aquaculture and varying methods employed to study bacterial association in fish, microbes and fish diseases. This resource will help improve research experiments and accomplishments in the area of aqua-culturally relevant microbial technology, making it useful for researchers and scientists in the field. Review Summarizes recent technological research accomplishments and applications in the area of microbial technology for the aquaculture industry From the Back Cover <i>Recent Advances in Aquaculture Microbial Technology </i>emphasizes various topics on microbiology related technology for aquaculture development and discusses different types of microbiological applications serving as an all-inclusive reference which consolidates microbial technologies adopted in the field. The book covers the history and development of microbial technology in aquaculture as well as aquaculture microbiology, diversity and role of microbes in aquaculture systems and presents the beneficial microbial communities in aquaculture. In addition, methods employed to study bacterial association in fish, microbes and fish diseases are discussed and practical applications of microbially derived nanomaterials in disease prevention and treatment, control of fish diseases using antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents, are included. This is a resource to improve research experiments and accomplishments in the area of aqua-culturally relevant microbial technology useful for researchers, scientists in the field.
