Thoroughly grounded in the scientific literature,
Crayfish Aquaculture presents a wealth of valuable information that focuses on commercial production. Examining a wide range of literature, the book applies scientific understanding of crayfish to the commercial production of many key species. By illustrating how biological factors relate to growth, survival, and yield in commercial environments,
Crayfish Aquaculture provides the necessary knowledge for tailoring production methods to key cultured species.
Due to the broad range of crayfish habitats, both geographically and ecologically, several diverse approaches to the commercial culture of crayfish have evolved. Crayfish Aquaculture emphasizes the unifying characteristics between these approaches and highlights key differences, showing the relationship between the production methods and the biology of the species. Useful to anyone interested in crayfish aquaculture, the book will be especially valuable to students, researchers, and crayfish culturists.
