The present  century has seen their spread from Africa throughout the tropics and  sub-tropics, largely for food and fisheries purposes. \u003cbr\u003e  This book attempts to pull together our knowledge of this important  group - their biology and fisheries and aquaculture - in  a single volume, something that has not been done comprehensively for  nearly two decades. A succession of chapters by acknowledged  authorities covers evolution, phylogenetic relationships and  biogeography, reproductive biology, mating systems and parental care,  diet, feeding and digestive physiology, environmental physiology and  energetics, the role of tilapias in ecosystems, population dynamics  and management, genetics, seed production, nutrition, farming,  economics and marketing. The book is aimed at biologists, fisheries  scientists, aquaculturists, and all interested in aquatic ecology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792363910\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4008-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 508.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541568090252,"sku":"9780792363910","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792363910.jpg?v=1759287337","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792363910","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
