However, unlike our other staples, until a few years back the greater proportion of our fish supplies were of a hunted origin. This scenario is changing and a greater proportion of fish we consume now is of farmed origin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAquaculture, the farming of waters, is thought to have originated in China, many millennia ago. Nevertheless, it transformed into a major food sector only since the second half of the last century, and continues to forge ahead, primarily in the developing world. China leads the global aquaculture production in volume, in the number of species that are farmed, and have contributed immensely to transforming the practices from an art to a science.\u003c\/p\u003e This book attempts to capture some of the key elements and practices that have contributed to the success of Chinese aquaculture. The book entails contributions from over 100 leading experts in China, and provides insights into some aquaculture practices that are little known to the rest of the world. This book will be essential reading for aquaculturists, practitioners, researchers and students, and planners and developers.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e     \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJian-Fang Gui,\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, Hubei Province, China \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQisheng Tang,\u003c\/b\u003e Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Shandong, China \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eZhongjie Li,\u003c\/b\u003e State Key Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology, Institute of Hydrobiology, Wuhan, Hubei Province, China \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJiashou Liu,\u003c\/b\u003e State Key Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology, Institute of Hydrobiology, Wuhan, Hubei Province, China \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSena S.
