Rezensionen

"Freshwater Prawns: Biology and farming is an updated and expanded
version of the book published a decade ago . . . The book should
prove to be a valuable source of reference for all those interested
in the culture of freshwater prawns, and there is also much
information that could be incorporated into aquaculture courses
designed for college and university students." (Aquaculture
International, 26 July 2011)



"In conclusion, this comprehensive review is certainly useful
for students, farmers, researchers, and all those in search for any
subject related to freshwater prawn culture. Given the good
coverage of all the subjects, in a well explained manner, this book
will be beneficial for beginners and can clarify doubts of
experienced farmers and biologists. Surely this beautifully bound
book will be an asset to your scientific libraries!." (Journal of
Crustaceana, 1 July 2011)

"The comprehensive information presented in the book will be of
immense use to those involved in the culture and trade of
freshwater prawns, prawn farm personnel, business managers and
researchers." (INFOFISH International, 1 February 2010)

"Coverage encompasses biology and taxonomy; hatchery and
grow-out culture systems; nutrition, feeds, and feeding; genetics;
size management; commercial developments around the world;
post-harvest handling and processing; marketing and preparation for
consumption; economics and business management; and sustainability.
... For prawn farm personnel, business managers, and
researchers." (Book News, December 2009)
