Fish farming handbook.

Abstract

This handbook is designed to be a source book for workers engaged in bringing knowledge and technology to fishfarmers. It can also serve as a handy reference for fishfarmers themselves. The articles in this handbook represent 19 months, starting from October 1978, of searching, compilation, editing and crosschecking work by the staff of the Communications/Publications unit of the Institute of Aquaculture. Classified under 7 headings - general aquaculture information, milkfish, prawn, tilapia, molluscs, crabs and other species, and integrated farming - the articles emanate from various sources and contributions. Private aquaculturists, government technologists, researchers and scientific workers, scientists from other research centers and institutions, and the research and technology staff of the SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department themselves have in various forms and manner furnished the materials for the articles found in this handbook. The staff took the liberty of rewriting and reorganizing published or unpublished information with the sole view of making these available in practical and compact form.
