| Summary |
Fish Nutrition, Fourth Edition is an up-to-date, presentation of all key elements of the nutrition of fish and crustaceans. As aquaculture is rapidly expanding, more than 200 herbivorous and carnivorous species occupy a diverse range of ecological niches, and have therefore evolved to utilize a wide array of food sources. This new edition highlights these differences and covers the complexity and challenges associated with fish nutrition, addressing nutrient requirements to produce high-quality, healthful and sustainable resources, the essential nutrients for fish species, including proteins and amino acids, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, a feed quality assessment, and fish pathology. This edition provides readers with new information on the use of high-throughput technologies in fish nutrition research, the role of feeds on the community structure of the microbiome, and advances in essential nutrient requirements. Features expansive updates to the previous edition, including a new chapter dedicated to diet analysis and evaluation Addresses the roles of fish nutrition and feeds on sustainability and the environmental impacts of aquaculture. Covers basic nutritional biochemistry and applied nutritional topics |
