The Shrimp Book - Softcover

"With this one book, we now have a comprehensive coverage on shrimp farming to move the industry from an art to a science. The book is recommended as an essential reference, from the student learning more on shrimp aquaculture, to shrimp professionals, policy makers and researchers." --Zuridah Merican, Aquaculture Asia Pacific (March 2011) "In five sections, 67 authors cover topics starting with history of shrimp farming, role of smallscale shrimp farmers in the global trade, different types of productions systems including the biofloc technology etc." --INFOFISH (July 2011) "Written by the people that did the basic research and participated in the development of the industry, it's the kind of book you keep on your desk when you need to check a fact or to look up something about shrimp farming. With this book, you can zero in on dozens of shrimp farming research topics faster than you can do it on the Internet!" --Bob Rosemberry, shrimpnews.com (April 25, 2011) "Owning The Shrimp Book will be a bit like having the latest model computer, it's bound to be outdated as technology develops, but is absolutely essential in the meantime." --David Scarratt, Hatchery International
