Produktbeschreibung

The first book to provide comprehensive information on nutrition as a means to improve fish health and defend against infection, Nutrition and Fish Health offers state-of-the-art information on diseases affecting cold-water and warm-water fish, as well as marine shrimp. It comprehensively addresses such vital issues as nutrition and feeding management, immuno-stimulants, mycotoxins, fish immune system mechanisms, and the use of vaccines, and the interplay between nutrition and environmental stress. Generously illustrated with graphs, charts, tables, and photographs, Nutrition and Fish Health is an essential guidebook for aquaculturists, fish producers, extension agents, disease specialists, and feed formulators.
