Aquaculture production is expanding worldwide in both volume and scope, with a number of new species being introduced to aquaculture every year. Salmon Farming provides an overview of aquaculture production systems focusing on Atlantic salmon farming, which will enable users to:
produce broodstock, juveniles and adult fish
develop a production plan for juvenile and ongrowing farms
evaluate and optimize the key working operations on juvenile and ongrowing farms
identify the factors that are important for economic and sustainable production
identify the factors that affect the rate of production, how these factors can be changed, and what effects such changes have
adopt the best procedures for season-independent smolt production
understand water quality requirements and evaluate the suitability based on water analysis
prepare documents for production control and propose amendments
prepare working plans for smolt production and ongrowing production farms
establish maintenance routines/plans for smolt production and ongrowing production
estimate the investment and running cost for the main components of smolt and ongrowing farms
remain up to date with the laws and regulations that need to be considered in aquaculture production planning internationally
stay abreast of new trends in the industry.
Salmon Farming gives an overview of aquaculture production systems focusing on Atlantic salmon farming. However, much of the subject coverage and overall structure of the book are directly transferable to other species, with much of the core of the book being species-independent and applicable internationally.
