9781578083756 English 1578083753 "This book contains twelve chapters contributed by international scientists actively involved in research on nutrition, feeding, and digestion in fish. The chapters cover topics as diverse as, feeding ecology of fish in their natural habitat, feeding behavior, developmental biology, anatomy and nutritional physiology of the gastro-intestinal tract of different fish species at different life stages, and the effect of nutrition on growth, and health of fish. Interesting scientific analyses and progressive experimental approaches and tools are presented. Information from studies published only in foreign languages is also reviewed." "Aquaculture specialists, fisheries biologists, feed manufacturers, and students in natural and applied science programs will find in this book relevant information suited to their diverse needs."--BOOK JACKET., Topics covered in this book includes feeding ecology of fish in their natural habitat, feeding behavior, digestive anatomy, biochemistry and physiology of different fish species at different life stages, the impact of diet on gastro-intestinal development and health, nutrition and disease resistance, and modeling conversion of food or feed inputs into biomass., Understanding the biology of the innumerable number of aquatic species on our planet is the focus of sustained research efforts. Environmental degradation, management or rehabilitation of wild stocks, and the forecasted climatic changes are fueling interest in the study of the ecology, feeding behavior, and nutrition of aquatic animals in their natural habitat. In parallel, the rapid expansion of aquaculture in many parts of the world has supported vigorous research programs on nutrition, and feeding of cultivated aquatic organisms. More than 250 aquatic species are cultivated on a commercial scale using a wide variety of production systems. This great diversity results in great opportunities and tremendous challenges. Topics covered in this book are as diverse as, feeding ecology of fish in their natural habitat, feeding behavior, digestive anatomy, biochemistry and physiology of different fish species at different life stages, the impact of diet on gastro-intestinal development and health, nutrition and disease resistance, and modeling conversion of food or feed inputs into biomass.
