Aquaculture Management by James Meade

This text shows how to increase the effectiveness of aquaculture operations across the board.

The author takes the reader step-by-step through site selection, planning, production, water quality management and aquatic health management. 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.
