{"product_id":"9780412077012","title":"Nutrition and Feeding of Fish","description":"\u003ch1\u003eNutrition and Feeding of Fish\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eLovell, Tom\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eAquaculture is now recognized as a viable and profitable  enterprise worldwide. As aquaculture technology has evolved, the push  toward higher yields and faster growth has involved the enhancement or  replacement of natural foods with prepared diets. In many aquaculture  operations today, feed accounts for more than one-half the variable  operating cost. Therefore, knowledge of nutrition and practical  feeding of fish is essential to successful aquaculture. \u003cbr\u003e  This book is not written exclusively for scientists but also for  students, practicing nutritionists, and aquaculturists. It covers the  known nutrient requirements and deficiency effects for different  fishes, and digestion and metabolism of nutrients and energy. It  discusses nutrient sources and  preparation of practical and research feeds. It gives directions for  conducting fish nutrition and feeding experiments. Feeding practices  for salmonids, channel catfish, tilapias, shrimps and hybrid striped  bass are presented. \u003cbr\u003e  Since the first edition of this book was printed, the National  Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences has revised the  nutrient requirements for fish. These revisions are in the present  edition. Other additions to this revised edition are chapters on  nutrition and fish health, and bioavailability of nutrients. Each  original chapter has been meticulously revised and updated with new  information. Aquaculture is a dynamic area and new technologies are  being introduced continuously; therefore, some of the material  discussed in this revised edition may become obsolete quickly.  Nonetheless, the material presented has been thoughtfully selected and  updated to make it of maximum use to persons whose interests range  from general aquaculture to animal nutrition to feed manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780412077012\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4909-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 267\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358463193228,"sku":"9780412077012","price":440.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780412077012.jpg?v=1775755954","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780412077012","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
