► Description: |
Safeguard the success of aquaculture
operations without expensive antibiotics!
Diseases are a major threat to the
sustainability of the aquaculture
industry. Because antibiotics have many
drawbacks, increasing importance is being
placed on understanding the mechanisms
that make nutrition a key factor in host
defense against pathogens. Nutrition and
Fish Health is 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 the use of
vaccines nutrition and environmental
stressNutrition and Fish Health is a
comprehensive guide to using nutrition to
make your aquaculture operation a success.
Proper fish nutrition can help you: reduce
the risk of disease decrease the risk of
environmental contamination associated
with the use of antibiotics increase
production of good quality product
increase profitsGenerously illustrated
with graphs, charts, tables, and
photographs, Nutrition and Fish Health is
an essential guidebook for aquaculturists,
fish producers, extension agents,
aquaculture students, disease specialists,
and feed formulators.
