► Description: |
Fish nutrition can be the deciding factor
between a robust and healthy farmed fish
population and low aquaculture production.
In an age where chemicals and antibiotics
are under greater scrutiny than ever, a
strong understanding of the role of
nutrients and feed additives is essential
in the aquaculture industry.
Dietary Nutrients, Additives and Fish
Health is a comprehensive review of
dietary nutrients, antinutritional factors
and toxins, and non-nutrient dietary
additives, and their effects on fish
performance and immune system function, as
well as overall health.
The book opens with an overview of fish
immune systems and health. Subsequent
chapters delve into proteins and amino
acids, lipids and fatty acids,
carbohydrates, beta glucans, vitamins,
minerals, antinutrients, mycotoxins,
nucleotides, prebiotics, probiotics,
organic acids and their salts, and plant
extracts and their impacts on fish health,
growth, and development. The text then
concludes with a chapter on feeding
practices.
Authored by leaders in aquaculture, Dietary
Nutrients, Additives and Fish Health
will be an invaluable resource to graduate
students, researchers and professionals
alike.
