Part one focuses on the genetic improvement of farmed species and control of reproduction, with chapters on genome-based technologies in aquaculture research, selective breeding and the production of single sex and sterile populations, among other topics. Parts two and three review key issues in health, diet and husbandry, such as the control of viral and parasitic diseases, diet and husbandry techniques to improve disease resistance, advances in diets for particular fish species and the impact of harmful algal bloom on shellfisheries aquaculture. Chapters in Parts three and four then examine the design of different aquaculture production systems, including offshore technologies, tank-based recirculating systems and ponds, and key environmental issues, such as the prediction and assessment of the impact of aquaculture. Concluding chapters focus on farming new species. - reviews recent advances in improvements in aquaculture production - focuses on the genetic improvement and reproduction of farmed species, including genome-based technologies - discusses key health issues, including advances in disease diagnosis, vaccine development and other emerging methods to control pathogens in aquaculture - examines the design of a range of aquaculture production systems and addresses key environmental issues - a standard reference for aquaculture professionals and academics in the field With its well-known editors and distinguished international team of contributors, New technologies in aquaculture is an essential purchase for professionals and researchers in the aquaculture industry.
