A practical guide for people in the aquaculture industry and for those about to enter it. Australian Fish Farmer covers current as well as potential aquaculture industries and provides practical skills that will allow people to solve everyday problems in the day-to-day management of aquatic stock.
In recent years, the falling profitability of traditional farming methods has led to increasing pressure to diversity. Aquaculture can add another string to the farmer's bow and, in the context of whole farm management, can increase farm efficiency.
Australian Fish Farmer is virtually two books in one.
It covers current and potential industries and the methods used: everything from abalone to yabbies.
It also explains the theory and practical skills needed for success. Topics start with site selection and finish with marketing. There is even an informative chapter on planning and finances.
