Larval Fish Nutrition

Larval Fish Nutrition by G. Joan Holt, published by John Wiley & Sons on May 24, 2011, is a comprehensive resource that delves into the nutritional needs of fish during their early-life stages. This edition spans 448 pages and is presented in English, focusing on the critical role of nutrition in the healthy development of larval fish. The book examines how understanding these unique requirements can enhance the efficiency and quality of fish reared in aquaculture settings.
Readers will find a detailed exploration of nutritional requirements, developmental physiology, and feeding strategies essential for aquaculture researchers and professionals. The text is organized into three sections, addressing specific nutrient roles in digestive development, the impacts of nutritional physiology throughout various early-life stages, and an analysis of feeding behaviors, including the advantages and disadvantages of live feed versus microparticulate diets. This work serves as an invaluable reference for those engaged in fisheries, aquaculture, and related life sciences.
Official synopsis Publisher
Nutrition is particularly important in the healthy development of fish during their early-life stages. Understanding the unique nutritional needs of larval fish can improve the efficiency and quality of fish reared in a culture setting. Larval Fish Nutrition comprehensively explores the nutritional requirements, developmental physiology, and feeding and weaning strategies that will allow aquaculture researchers and professionals to develop and implement improved culture practices.
Larval Fish Nutrition is logically divided into three sections. The first section looks at the role of specific nutrient requirements in the healthy digestive development of fish. The second section looks at the impacts if nutritional physiology on fish through several early-life stages. The final section looks at feeding behaviors and the benefits and drawbacks to both live feed and microparticulate diets in developing fish.
Written by a team of leading global researchers, Larval Fish Nutrition will be an indispensible resource for aquaculture researchers, professionals, and advanced students.
