It also highlights basic physiology and biochemistry of the nutrients and applications of these principles to scientific and practical diet formulations and to manufacturing techniques for major species used worldwide in aquaculture.

*Nutrient requirements for dietary formulations for fish farming
*Digestive physiology
*Comparative nutritional requirements of different species
*Fish as unique animals for certain metabolic pathways

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...the breadth and depth of this text clearly make this an important publication and timely reference for researchers in the fields of fish nutritional physiology and aquaculture. ...interesting for everybody who is willing to accept that the nutritional physiology of fishes is every bit as interesting an human nutritional physiology."
-ARCHIVE OF FISHERY AND MARINE RESEARCH (2003)

This third edition ofFish Nutrition has been updated with selections from a myriad of publications which have appeared in the past decade. The authors have focused on selected demonstrations of nutrient requirements and metabolism which summarize the basis and applied principles of fish nutrition. It continues to review "what we know and what we do not know" to stimulate research and better understanding of the nutrient requirements and their role in growth, production, and fish health as more and more effort is concentrated on using fish as the best animal for protein and food production.
