AQUACULTURE WATER REUSE SYSTEMS: ENGINEERING DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT

Edited by: Timmons, M.B. & Losordo, T.M 1994

Seventeen world authorities make this treatise state of the art. Expert aquacultural engineers from the leading consultancies, universities, research groups and fisheries centers have collectively redefined water reuse for aquaculture. With practiced experience and science they present a foundational review that empowers the user to make expertly guided and accurate decisions about all aspects of water reuse: system carrying capacity and flow estimation, suspended solids control, nitrification filter principles, nitrification filter design methods, aeration and oxygenation, carbon dioxide control, control of pH, foam fractionization, operations and management, monitoring and control. A profound and powerful text long awaited by the aquaculture community. Hardbound, 333 pages, 35 tables, 51 figures. Bible of Water Reuse

DESIGN OF FISHWAYS AND OTHER FISH FACILITIES, 2nd Edition

Charles H. Clay 1995

The term "Fishway" is used to describe a water passage around or through an obstruction designed to dissipate the energy in the water in such a manner as to enable fish to ascent without undue stress. This extraordinary technical book was written by a prominent member, now retired, of the F.A.O. of the United Nations. Various types of fishways currently in use are analyzed and their effectiveness carefully covered with great attention to the obvious and not so obvious parameters of fishways. Many years of research and experience are reflected in the beneficial engineering advice advanced in this publication. Copious blueprints of fishways design are included. The author has traveled all over the world to study fishways and is now a master at Fishway construction. Hardbound, 256 pages, 97 illustrations.

FISHERIES BIOENGINEERING SYMPOSIUM

Edited by: Colt, J. & White, R.J. 1991

The theme of this renounced proceedings is Problems and Solutions in Developed River Systems. In four sections - Habitats, Fish Passage and Fish Hatcheries, it brings together a bioengineering team approach inclusive of habitat improvement, protective structures and fishways, and hatchery systems. For aquaculturists and engineers it offers a review of state-of-the-art fish passage facilities, fish hatcheries and fish habitat enhancement methods in use on several of the most intensively managed rivers in the world, viz. Columbia River, Tennessee River, and Sacramento-San Joaquin systems. An International perspective is achieved detailing fish mitigation systems in Japan, Canada, and Norway. The proceedings span the fisheries spectra from anadromous to resident fish, from warmwater to coldwater fish, and from freshwater to estuarine fish and habitat. This encyclopedic technical review of fish culture and management technology is deserving of use by every fish culturist, biologist, resource manager and aquacultural engineer. Hardbound, 566 pp.
