He stresses that aquacultural systems are made up of components that can each be assessed, managed, and mixed to increase productivity and maximize resource utilization. Also covered are the vital aspects of sound business and people management. Included are ready-to-use procedures for budgeting, record keeping, financial analysis, personnel management, and long-term planning, as well as insights on leadership, motivation, communication and performance evaluation.
