The book “Applied Pisciculture” delves into the scientific principles and practical applications that form the foundation of modern fish farming and aquaculture. It integrates biological understanding, technological innovation, and management strategies to present a complete overview of fish culture as a sustainable and profitable enterprise. The objective of the book is to bridge the gap between theoretical pisciculture and field-level practice by focusing on applied methodologies that enhance productivity, efficiency, and environmental harmony.
The content emphasizes life-cycle management of cultivable fish, hatchery operations, water and pond management systems, feed formulation, and disease prevention techniques. Each chapter highlights not only the technical details but also the economic, ecological, and social relevance of aquaculture in today’s food systems. With increasing global attention on sustainable protein production, Applied Pisciculture underscores the importance of responsible fish farming that ensures high yield while maintaining ecological balance.
This book serves as a comprehensive resource for students, academicians, fishery professionals, and entrepreneurs engaged in aquaculture. It combines core scientific knowledge with modern advancements, including integrated aquaculture systems, biosecurity protocols, and smart aquaculture technologies. Ultimately, Applied Pisciculture seeks to empower readers with both conceptual clarity and hands-on understanding to promote innovation, sustainability, and profitability in fish culture practices across diverse aquatic ecosystems.
