Ponds are a primary production system to a wide variety offreshwater fish species. Each species have specific and uniquenutrient needs and successful pond fertilization is critical to asuccessful aquaculture enterprise. Aquaculture PondFertilization: Impacts of Nutrient Input on Production providesstate-of-the-art information for successful fertilizationstrategies for a broad range of pond-raised species.
Aquaculture Pond Fertilization attempts to rectify theseemingly contradictory nutrient recommendations by clearlydefining the goals of specific types of aquaculture. Chapters aredivided into three sections: The first reviews basic concepts infertilization applicable to all pond-based production. The secondlooks at specific nutrient management approaches. The third andfinal section of chapters looks specifically at key freshwater pondspecies ranging from tilapia to perch and discusses specificfertilization needs for the successful rearing of these in-demandfish.
Looking across species with chapters contributed by leaders inthe field Aquaculture Pond Fertilization provides succinctsingle-volume coverage of an oft-neglected, but vitally importanttopic in aquaculture production.
