The revised third edition is a comprehensive and better illustrated book covering the major aspects of freshwater aquaculture within Asiatic region with particular focus on the Indian context. In the present revised edition, an attempt has been made not only to update the information but also three additional chapters such as Biotechnology in Aquaculture, Fisheries Extension Education and Ornamental Fish Production and Management are incorporated for the graduate and postgraduate students in the subject concerned. Hope this book would facilitate the teaching of the subject in Colleges and Universities as per their syllabi.
