| Summary |
Professor Billard has brought together a panel of international experts to produce a comprehensive and practical volume about carp production and management. Starting with a brief look at the biology of cyprinids, the book goes on to discuss the methods and management of carp farming, from water quality to the economics of fish production in ponds. Novel methods to improve stock, including genetic engineering, are covered and case studies give added value to the text |
