This guide provides a valuable survey of key systems currently used in the production of shellfish and finfish. It looks at a variety of systems, ranging from low-input methods to super-intensive systems, allowing the reader to better understand how aquaculture depends upon and interacts with its environment. Divided into five sections that each focus on a distinct family of systems, this book can serve either as an excellent text to those just being introduced to aquaculture or as a valuable reference to well-established professionals seeking information on production methods.
