Author Profile
"Dr. S.K. Sarkar obtained Bachelor and Master Degrees in Zoology from the Unviersity of Kalyani, West Bengal and did his Ph.D. Degree in Zoology in 1982 from the same university. <BR> He joined as Technical Officer (Fisheries Science) in 1980 at the West Bengal Comprehensive Area Development Corporation and continued his service there upto 1985. Thereafter, he joined as Lecturer in Zoology at R.B.C. College, Naihati in 1985 and continued upto 1987. Dr. Sarkar is now working as Associate Professor in Zoology at Netaji Nagar Day College, Kolkata. His main research interests concern the biology of fishes, fish culture, limnology and toxicology. He has 23 years of teaching and research experience. <BR> He has been invited to participate in many national and international conferences and symposia pertaining to the subject concerned. He has published six text books on life science at secondary level and 110 research papers in different Journals and edited books. He has also written several review articles pertaining to cultural and toxicological aspects. He has been Principal Investigator of the UGC Research Projects since 1997."
About The Book
"Fish farming has increased in status equal to cattle and poultry farming as a source of food for mankind. In developing countries, fish provide inexpensive animal protein, while in developed countries fish culture is expected to produce more fish as a source of low-calorie protein for health conscious individuals. In the beginning of the new millennium, knowledge on fish culture strategies of different regions/countries, which are strongly influenced by cultural factors, is of valuable importance. Techniques of fish culture and other related aspects described have an emphasis on practical technology. <BR> Different chapters of this book do not present not only exhaustive methodology but also strikes some balance between practical applications and more technical considerations. The book provides a comprehensive description of the production and husbandry of commercially important species of fish. It is directed at both academic and non-academic readers. <BR> Current research reports and development on the subject concerned have been meticulously incorporated in this book. Citations have been identified not only for illustrative value, but also to serve as starting points for those wishing to pursue particular topics in depth. The references cited throughout this book reflect the dedicated efforts of many workers over the years. It is my hope as I have completed this work that will capture the interest of new generations of fish culturists who, collectively, may realize the objectives of freshwater fish culture. <BR> So many books on the subject concerned exist and each of them is highly appreciated and recommended as a reference book. These books are, however, generally considered for research work and the students are unable to follow the sequence of the topic of interest and also to swallow the text for the purpose of examination as the subject matters are found in various places. During my long teaching experience, I have tried at best to bring out vast subject matters in such a way that the students of fisheries science can enjoy a lot on freshwater fish culture. <BR> The clarity of writing and completeness of detail makes it suitable for interested lay-persons and trained professional fish culturists. It will serve for many years as a text-cum-reference book for anyone interested in freshwater fish culture. <BR> Other important aspects of this book include: <BR> – A clear, concise approach to the fundamentals of fisheries science that students need to succeed in graduate and post-graduate institutions. <BR> – Integrated discussions on fish culture and production, fish diseases and genetics, post-harvest technology, and illustrations. <BR> – Ideal as a text. <BR> – Farmers' need to succeed in fish farming."
