OverviewThis text is designed to function as both a textbook and a reference book, providing broad coverage of the main technological requirements for rearing saltwater fish. Information is presented for several hundred species, with emphasis on those already established in aquaculture and those with high potential. Dr. Tucker conducts pioneering research on the ecology, culture, reproduction, development, nutrition, physiology, energetics, toxicology, and health of marine fish in Florida, the Caribbean, and the West Pacific. He has raised 36 species and hybrids of marine fish over the past 27 years, mainly in the herring, anchovy, snook, striped bass, grouper, snapper, sea bream (porgy), drum, damselfish, mullet, and triggerfish families. Because marine fish larvae have narrow requirements, production of sufficient numbers of healthy juvenile fish for release or for aquaculture depends primarily on refinement of larval rearing methods. This book is a valuable source of information on providing optimal environmental and nutritional conditions for obtaining the best survival and growth of all life stages. This book should be of interest to a useful reference guide to all readers interested in the marine biology of fish from the perspective of a lay person, fisheries biologist and for readers in the international market.
