This volume is based on prec'entations at the conference on Culture of Marine Invertebrate Animals which was held in Green port, New York in October, 1972. The conference was sponsored by the Middle Atlantic Natural Sciences Council, Inc., a non profit educational corporation, together with the Marine Science Centers of Adelphi University, the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Long Island University, Suffolk County Community College, and the Shelter Island Oyster Company. The purpose of the conference was to provide a needed ex change of knowledge among scientists of various specialties whose information would be invaluable to others confronted with similar problems, even with different marine animals. Part I considers supportive techniques -- general isolation and culture methods, problems of disease and feeding. Specific techniques employed in the culture of a wide range of invertebrate organisms is covered in Part II. We want to thank the contributors for their cooperation in preparing the manuscripts based on their conference presentations. Walter L. Smith Matoira H.

Culture of Nonsalmonid Freshwater Fishes, 2nd Edition presents an expanded, updated description of important techniques and practices for the culture of some of the most widely cultured nonsalmonid species used for human consumption (channel catfish, tilapia, carp) for stocking freshwater bodies for recreational fishing (bass, walleye, striped bass), and for bait (minnows). This new edition features the latest information on spawning, nutritional requirements, special culture requirements, tolerance to various water quality parameters, and types of diseases that can occur. It is an essential book for all aquaculturalists, agency fishery biologists, and students interested in freshwater aquaculture.

Selected freshwater invertebrates of various trophic levels are grown at the Freshwater Institute for studying basic physiological and nutritional relationships, effects of toxic materials on morphological and physiological phenomena and effects of continued laboratory culture on population dynamics, physiology and morphology, tetrahymena vorax, helisoma trivolvis, Artemia sp., Daphnia magna, D. pulex, Hyalella azteca, Gammarus lacustris lacustris, Orconectes virilis, Chironomus tentans and Hexagenia rigida have been cultured. Procedures for culturing organisms on various nutritional bases are outlined. Techniques such as storage of partly developed eggs or over-wintering animals, artificial insemination of insect egg masses, washing procedures and production of given life phases specifically for use in toxicological studies are described. Methods for collecting and transporting organisms from the field are outlined. Specific environmental preferences, diseases and parasites and geographic distribution are described.

Fish culture in hatcheries and other aquacultural facilities is becoming much more intensive all over the world. The success of all kinds of fish rearing depends on the quality of management and this depends, in turn, on understanding the biology of fishes and the aquatic environment in which they live. This book directly addresses the relationship between the aquatic environment and the fishes. An understanding of this by the reader will result in a reduction of disease outbreaks through improved management.
