Aquaculture and Aquaponics
Aquaculture: An Introductory Text, 2nd Edition
By Robert R. Stickney
Providing a broad and readable overview of the subject, this updated second edition of Aquaculture: An Introductory Text covers issues associated with sustainable aquaculture development, culture systems, hatchery methods, nutrition and feeding of aquaculture species, reproductive strategies, harvesting, and many other topics. While its main focus is on the culture of fish, molluscs, and crustaceans for food, the book also covers other forms of aquaculture, such as the production of seaweeds, recreational fish and ornamental species, and live foods such as algae and other rotifers that are used to feed larval shrimp and marine fish. This book will be an essential resource for those aquaculture students and non-students. The scope is global and much of the information is based on first-hand experiences of the author.
Aquaculture and Hydroponic Training Center: Prayers Farm Nigeria (article)
Prayers Farm is the result of an amazing partnership between two men of God, Todd Futhey and Dominic Ukpe. Their current project is to develop Prayers Farm Nigeria on their river front property in Akwa Ibom State. They will provide a free training center to equip local people to raise high protein, all-natural fish and vegetables while taking advantage of extra-curricular time to share the gospel and disciple young believers.
