Highly comprehensive, rather almost exhaustive—this work is an updated treatise on Indian fish and fisheries, with detailed references to the latest R&D in fish technology at the national and global level. Beginning with an account of the biology and biochemistry of fish, the 34 thematically arranged and systematically presented chapters of the book cover diverse aspects of the subject including production and preservation of fish, fish products, marketing of fish and fish products, fisheries extension, ornamental fish keeping, fisheries development administration, and the socio-economic life of the fishing communities. Exclusive details of Indian fisheries—marine, riverine, estuaries and lagoons, oil sardine, freshwater and coldwater—are provided in the book alongwith a compilation of latest knowledge about fish health and disease management, post harvest technologies, and hatching & catching techniques.
