Aquaculture Abstracts

All types of source documents are surveyed to provide international perspectives on the science, practice, management, and economics of aquaculture. References from related disciplines- such as water pollution, ecology, diseases, nutrition, oceanography, and limnology- are also scanned from relevant material directly applicable to aquacultural situations. Information on instruments, technological developments, culturing techniques, and new methods of husbandry are significant features.

Specific areas of coverage include: aquaculture management and economics, reproductive biology, growth and development of cultured species, organizational, economic, legal, and social aspects, and techniques, equipment, methodology, feasibility studies, replenishing natural stocks.
