N2  - "Biology and Culture of Channel Catfish was written by the most prominent scientists in catfish aquaculture. Comprehensive, extensively referenced chapters provide an overview of the development and current state of the catfish industry, the biology of the fish, and how it is cultured. Coverage of fish health issues is particularly broad, with three chapters dedicated to the subject, including an in-depth review of catfish immunology. Although the focus of the book is clearly on pond culture methods, the book contains detailed chapters on other culture systems, including recirculating and flow-through systems, in-pond raceways, cages, and partitioned aquaculture systems. Coverage also includes the role of catfish in recreational and subsistence fisheries; economics of production; marketing; processing; and the environmental and sociological impacts of the industry." "Biology and Culture of Channel Catfish is an invaluable reference for scientists and students of aquaculture. The book is also essential reading for commercial producers, who will find a wealth of information to improve production efficiency and economic performance. By providing insight into one of the most successful aquaculture industries in the world, the book will also be useful to anyone interested in warmwater aquaculture globally."--BOOK JACKET
