Fish and Invertebrate Culture: Water Management in Closed Systems, 2nd edition

A completely rewritten edition of this simple, concise handbook on water quality control in closed-system environments, focusing on aquariums. Shows how to culture fishes and invertebrates in closed systems by controlling the chemical factors in the environment that bring about changes in normal physiology. Demonstrates that accumulating toxic metabolites are the primary limiting factors in aquatic animal culture and that removing them on a continuous basis should be the foremost objective in routine water management. Includes theoretical principles as well as practical water management techniques.
