This is the 4th edition of the book that has become known in the industry as the Big Yellow book. This hardcover textbook is widely regarded as the fundamental, and highly technical, reference for everything related to Recirculation Aquaculture Systems or RAS for short. Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food production markets around the world as overfishing our oceans becomes an increasing environmental issue. Proper management of water quality in aquaculture is the key to providing safe food production. The Big Yellow book is known for its in-depth charts, graphs, explained mathematical formulas. If you have ever wondered about “how many fish do I need in order properly to feed my plants?” or “How does the fish food quality affect their growth?” this text is for you! The RAS book is a great guide for those who are focused on turning profitable aquaculture business ventures. The objectives of this text are the practical application of aquacultural engineering principles to the design, construction, and management of an aquatic production system. One of the last chapters on aquaponics has also been added with extensive examples.
