In the ever-evolving field of aquaculture, understanding the intricate nutritional needs of fish is paramount to ensuring their health, growth, and overall productivity. This new volume delves into the essential aspects of fish nutrition, focusing specifically on the crucial roles of proteins and amino acids in the diets of various fish species. A culmination of extensive research and expertise from leading experts in the field of aquaculture nutrition, the book covers fish digestion and protein utilization, proteins in fish feed and protein requirements of different species of cultured fish. It also addresses the amino acid requirements of fish, including their dietary needs for lysine, methionine, valine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, histidine, leucine, and arginine.
Through detailed analyses and critical insights, this book explores the latest advancements in fish nutrition, highlighting key findings and recommendations for formulating balanced and nutritious diets. It serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, academics, and industry professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of fish nutrition and improve aquaculture practices.
Imtiaz Ahmed, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of Kashmir, India. His pioneering research contribution is the determination of the essential amino acid requirements of Cirrhinus mrigala and Heteropneustes fossilis at the fingerling stage. Key findings of his research projects have been submitted to the Ministry of Agriculture for proper implementation through DST–New Delhi. He also reported the protein and vitamin requirements and energy maintenance requirements of several cultured fish species. Dr. Ahmed has published more than 100 papers in international journals and has several book chapters to his credit. He has supervised several MPhil and doctoral students in the areas of fish nutrition, fish physiology, reproductive biology, and limnology. Ishtiyaq Ahmad, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of Kashmir, India. Previously, Dr. Ahmad worked as a Senior Research Fellow at the Division of Fish Genetics and Biotechnology at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir, India. He specializes in fish nutrition, fish physiology and biochemistry, nutrigenomics, fish parasitology, and molecular biology. His major research contribution is the establishment of optimum branched chain amino acid requirements for rainbow trout. He is an author of more than 35 research articles and several book chapters. He has presented his work at state, national, and international conferences, seminars, workshops, and symposia and has received awards for his work. Shabihul Fatma Syed, PhD, is an Associate Professor at Jazan University, Saudi Arabia. She is a research scientist with over 13 years of international academic teaching and research experience in biological sciences (zoology), focusing mainly on protein biochemistry, dietary protein, and amino acids requirements; vitamins and essential minerals requirements; aquatic toxicology; and pesticides/insecticides and their impact on human health. She is a skilled scientific writer and reviewer for several publishers, including Academic Press from Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, Cambridge Press, etc.
