This document deals with the problems of fish culture, particularly carp, in eastern Europe. It reviews the types, methodology and role of fish culture and the economic analysis of this activity. It shows that there is no universal method for economic analysis of fish culture, especially if it has to be used for comparing economic efficiency of fish farming activities, and presents a general simplified outline of feasible economic analysis.

This book examines how the adaptability and innovation of small-scale aquaculture farmers have been crucial to success in the region. It describes the relationship between aquaculture development in Asia to natural systems, social conditions and economics.
This manual deals in two volumes with the practical aspects of management related to freshwater fish culture in earthen ponds. The first volume (FAO Training Series No. 21/1, 1996, ISBN 92-5-102873-7, US$51.00) explains how to manage the pond itself. This second volume deals with how to manage fish stocks and, as a whole, a fish farm. Fish handling, propagation, feeding, harvesting, grading and storage are explained in simple terms, as well as the prevention and treatment of simple fish diseases and the monitoring of fish farm activities.
This reference and textbook on the subject of marine fish culture provides information on more than 870 species in 129 families. It covers major topics necessary for raising marine fish, reviews of fish characteristics relative to rearing, and reviews of late 1990s rearing knowledge.

Key features: Takes a quantitative approach to the science of aquaculture Covers the complete landscape of the scientific basis of fish culture Promotes problem solving and critical thinking Includes sample problems at the end of most chapters Guides the reader through the technical considerations of intensive aquaculture, including fish growth rates, hydraulic characteristics of fish rearing units, oxygen consumption rates in relation to oxygen solubility and fish tolerance of hypoxia, and water reconditioning by reaeration and ammonia filtration. Discusses the environmental effects of aquaculture Includes a chapter on hatchery effluent control to meet receiving water discharge criteria Aqu...
