Abstract:

Since most of the aquaculture information is in English, the objective of this book is to give basic and present knowledge for the growing Spanish-speaking aquaculture community.

The book consists of eleven chapters. A brief introduction is described in chapter one, while biological considerations of the digestive system of fish, shellfish and crustaceans are included in chapter two. The next two chapters refer to broodstock and larval nutrition. Fish growth evaluation is reviewed in chapter five. Energy sources, nutritional requirements, vitamins, minerals, additives and antinutritional elements are also described. Finally, nutritional diseases, feeders and food formulation are included. The book contains black and white photographs in almost all chapters, and it can be considered as useful basic information for universitary level.
