This textbook, titled "Aquaculture Machineries and Equipment," has been developed to fulfill the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students studying Fisheries Engineering or Aquacultural Engineering. Unfortunately, there is currently no comprehensive textbook or practical manual available to cover a wide range of topics within the subject. As a result, students and interested individuals may be left with limited knowledge about the machinery and equipment commonly used in aquaculture, as well as their optimal usage conditions.
The design and management of these machines and systems are primarily based on the production goals of the farming operation and the economic considerations involved. The textbook presents relevant topics in a clear and concise manner, using suitable examples to illustrate key concepts. Additionally, this resource can be beneficial to researchers and individuals involved in the development of aquaculture machinery, providing them with valuable insights and information.
