Aquaculture is the production, processing, and marketing of biological organisms from aquatic systems. It is remarkable to note that aquaculture engineering is not new yet the minor research effort has been applied because man finds creatures that dwell in an aquatic world more difficult to understand than ones which breathe in air. It is evident that aquaculture is an expensive practice and requires long-term dedications which can only be afforded by developed countries. The organization of the book has emphasized on the rich array of aquacultural engineering and represented in a simplest possible way. With this recent edition, we aim to serve a wide range of readers' groups with the intention of contributing towards technological advancement in aquacultural engineering.
