Modern Encyclopaedia of Fishery Science and Technology (10 Volumes)

The present publication is an encyclopaedic work which offers an opportunity for reviewing issues of concern and topical debate in fisheries and aquaculture. It comprises ten authentic volumes on different topics of fisheries, viz.,  - Fish Genetics and Biotechnology; - Fish Nutrition and Biochemistry; - Fishery Conservation Management; - Fishery Science and Technology; - Industrial Fisheries; - Inland and Freshwater Aquaculture - Marine Fisheries; - Natural Fisheries; - Production, Marketing and Economics of Fisheries; - Reservoir Fishery Management Practices. Each volume provides comprehensive and up-to-date information regarding the related topic. This work will prove to be an asset for the people working in the fisheries sector. It will be of great use to biology students, particularly those studying marine, freshwater and aquatic biology, fish biology fisheries, aquaculture, population biology and genetics, It will also be extremely useful as a reference to personnel such as fish farmers, fisheries scientists, planners, development personnel and all those working in fisheries and aquaculture management and research. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where biological sciences, fisheries and aquaculture are studied and taught should have copies of this work on their shelves.
