Features: With the deepening of rural industrial restructuring and variety restructuring, shrimp have become increasingly valued and favored as excellent aquaculture species. Currently, shrimp farming is rapidly developing and showing a promising future. To adapt to the trend of optimizing the national rural aquaculture structure and meet the urgent needs of rural aquaculture households and grassroots fishery workers, we have compiled the "Concise Handbook of Freshwater Shrimp Farming."
The "Concise Handbook of Freshwater Shrimp Farming" is divided into nine chapters, covering crucial biological knowledge in shrimp farming, as well as aspects such as feed, water quality, reproduction, cultivation, overwintering, and disease prevention. In terms of content, it combines scientific rigor with practicality, while also considering future ecological and green farming directions. Relevant national regulations on aquaculture standards are introduced in corresponding chapters as foundational information, which is expected to be helpful in practical farming.
The book is written in clear and accessible language, with in-depth yet easy-to-understand explanations. It is rich in content and covers the major operational aspects and technical points of three major shrimp categories in freshwater farming: penaeid shrimp, crayfish, and mitten crabs. General knowledge is presented uniformly, while the specific characteristics of individual farming species are discussed in detail in dedicated chapters, making the book's logical structure more distinct and its application more convenient. This also enhances the complementarity and universality of the related technologies.
Encouragingly, in the new year, many provinces and cities will introduce and develop the excellent shrimp species introduced in this book, such as whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei), river shrimp (Macrobrachium nipponense), Australian freshwater crayfish, and rohu (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). In the specific breeding and farming processes of shrimp, the content of this book can be flexibly combined. Common techniques can be selected for general use, allowing readers to apply the knowledge and content in a localized and adaptable manner.
The writing of this book is primarily aimed at production and grassroots levels, providing rural aquaculture households with accurate and practical production guidance. Secondly, it can also be used for technical training and on-the-job training by aquaculture research institutions and fishery production units. At the same time, it serves as a teaching reference for students and teachers in marine and freshwater-related majors at aquaculture and agricultural universities.
