A complete account of the theory and practice of water quality management for pond fish culture. The scope encompasses: a review of water quality and water quantity requirements of fish, pond fertilization, liming, dynamics of dissolved oxygen in ponds, feeding and water quality, aeration, aquatic plant control, chemical treatments and hydrology. The treatment is comprehensive, including discussions of both theoretical and practical aspects of each management procedure.
As well as being useful to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in fisheries and fish culture, researchers in fisheries and fish culture, and practicing fisheries biologists and fish culturists, the book also includes valuable information for individuals in other fields who are responsible for managing aquatic resources.

Aquaculture, Resource Use, and the Environment places aquaculture within the larger context of global population growth, increased demand for sustainable, reliable sources of food, and the responsible use of natural resources. Aquaculture production has grown rapidly in recent decades as over-exploitation and environmental degradation have drastically reduced wild fish stocks. As fish production has increased, questions have persisted about the environmental sustainability of current aquaculture practices. Aquaculture, Resource Use, and the Environment is a timely synthesis and analysis of critical issues facing the continued growth and acceptance of aquaculture practices and products. Chapters look at the past, present, and future demands for food, aquaculture production, and tackle key issues ranging from environmental impacts of aquaculture to practical best management practices in aquaculture production. Providing broad coverage of issues that are essential to the continued development of aquaculture production, Aquaculture, Resource Use, and the Environment will be vital resource for anyone involved in the field of aquaculture.
