Aquaculture Nutrition, Gut Health, Probiotics and Prebiotics will be a brand new multi-contributor book, edited by Dr Daniel Merrifield and Professor Einar Ringo. The book will synthesise the current information available in the subject areas as detailed above. A draft contents list is shown below.

Commencing with an overview of the subject, this exciting and commercially-extremely important new book will look in detail at the microbial content of aquatic animals and the pathogens which can affect the gut and the overall health of the organism. The following sections will cover in detail how the use of probiotics can be successfully applied to some of the world’s more important commercially farmed aquatic animals, including warmwater and coldwater fish such as salmonids, carps, breams and bass; crustaceans such as shrimps, lobsters, crabs and crayfish. Further chapters contain a vast wealth of information on the microbial control of live feeds, and the use of prebiotics in a range of situations.

With contributions from many internationally-respected specialists from around the globe, and edited by Dr Daniel Merrifield and Professor Einar Ringo, this book is of immense importance to the aquaculture and feed industries and should find a place on the shelves of all major companies working with the aquaculture industry. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where aquaculture, nutrition and microbiology are studied and taught should have copies of this excellent book.
