Features: China has a vast territory with numerous streams and rivers, and is dotted with ponds, weirs, lakes, and reservoirs. Particularly in southern provinces and regions, the mild climate and abundant water resources provide natural conditions for the development of high-quality aquatic economic animals. To improve the technical level of high-quality aquatic farming, promote high yield, quality, and efficiency, and meet domestic and international market demands, we have extensively absorbed the latest achievements, technologies, and experiences in aquatic farming from various regions in recent years to compile this book. There are many species of high-quality aquatic economic animals, and this book selects 26 of them, including river crabs, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, juvenile Chinese prawns, shrimp, river mussels, Chinese pond snails, river snails, mud clams, oysters, sea cucumbers, yellow catfish, loaches, eels, black-bellied snakehead, Mandarin fish, goldfish, giant salamander, frogs, Chinese bullfrogs, toads, softshell turtles, Asian softshell turtles, tortoises, and yellow-margin box turtles. It systematically introduces their economic value, morphological characteristics, life habits, feeding and management, breeding techniques, disease prevention and control, harvesting, commercial transportation, and processing technologies. During the writing process, we have strived to make the content novel, the technology advanced, and the methods specific, selecting applicable and highly profitable high-quality aquatic farming and processing technologies. The text is simple and easy to understand, accompanied by necessary illustrations, making it suitable for, as well as for students and teachers in aquatic farming schools and relevant researchers.
