Now Presents information that can be useful
to facilitate the aquaculture of a wide variety of food species. Operation
of an economically successful aquaculture venture depends upon the complete
life cycle of a species occurring in captivity. Possible solutions to how
such complete control of life cycles of important food organisms might be
accomplished are presented in each chapter. Whereas this volume (Part A)
deals with Seaweeds and Invertebrates, a compendium volume (Part B) deals
with Fishes.
