Ponds are a primary production system to a wide variety of freshwater fish species. Each species have N

specific and unique nutrient needs and successful pond fertilization is critical to a successful aquaculture uP
t
enterprise. AQUACULTURE POND FERTILIZATION: IMPACTS OF NUTRIENT INPUT ON PRODUCTION provides state- rO
i
of-the-art information for successful fertilization strategies for a broad range of pond-raised species. eN
n
AQUACULTURE POND FERTILIZATION attempts to rectify the seemingly contradictory nutrient recommenda- tD

tions by clearly defining the goals of specific types of aquaculture. Chapters are divided into three sections: I
nF
The first reviews basic concepts in fertilization applicable to all pond-based production. The second looks at pE
specific nutrient management approaches. The third and final section of chapters looks specifically at key u
R
freshwater pond species ranging from tilapia to perch and discusses specific fertilization needs for the t
oT
successful rearing of these in-demand fish.

Looking across species with chapters contributed by leaders in the field AQUACULTURE POND FERTILIZATION P
I
provides succinct single-volume coverage of an oft-neglected, but vitally important topic in aquaculture rZ
o
production. A
