A complete reference book on recirculating aquaculture systems. Book also includes basic material on fish health management, fluid mechanics, economics, monitoring & control systems, waste management, ozonation, fish nutrition, and building heat transfer and moisture control. The 2nd edition has added a 40 page chapter on aquaponics. Extensive software is provided on a CD that performs most of the critical calculations used in aquaculture.
The text is generally applicable to all forms of aquaculture and can be used for a classroom text for several levels of instruction (from advanced highschool to graduate level courses).
The authors have extensive practical experience. Fred Wheaton wrote the defining text for aquacultural engineering in 1977; this text is a much needed update.
