This fourth edition reflects the changes which continually affect trout farmers. It starts with the life history of the rainbow trout and the various rearing methods before going on to consider in greater detail hatching and fry production, disease, hygiene, food and feeding, broodstock management and trout farming in saltwater and freshwater cages. The production of fish for put-and-take fisheries, pollution from fish farms, aspects of design and equipment, and fish processing are also considered. A chapter on markets and profitability concludes the book. This is a practical book based on many year's involvement in fish farming in different countries.
