Swimming Physiology of Fish Towards Using Exercise to Farm a Fit Fish in Sustainable Aquaculture

In light of mounting fishing pressures, increased aquaculture production and a growing concern for fish well-being, improved knowledge on the swimming physiology of fish and its application to fisheries science and aquaculture is needed. This book presents recent investigations into some of the most...
