The first international symposium on cage culture in Asia provided an opportunity for the first time to the aquaculture community in Asia and outside the region to discuss current developments in cage culture. The proceedings comprise abstracts and full papers presented by speakers from 15 countries. The status of cage culture in Asian countries including India, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Bangladesh is reviewed. The papers identify problems and opportunities, assess research needs and discuss sustainable culture technologies and their management. Topics include discussions of the Norwegian regulation system, Australian perspectives on cage culture and integrated aquaculture development in inland waters, offshore systems, automated feeding systems, solid waste modeling, diets, socioeconomics, cage culture in ponds and much more. The book also contains a collection of photographs showing the evolution of cage development. The volume provides a wealth of information useful for fish culturists, scientists, traders and planners in private and public institutions.
