Within the space of just over 500 pages, made up of 15 multi-author chapters, this book provides a comprehensive overview on the production and use of fish oils, vegetable oils, terrestrial animal fats, and several unconventional lipid sources in finfish aquaculture and the aquafeed industry. All chapters are tightly packed with factual information, and all are also extensively referenced, with quite a strong emphasis on recently published review articles, original papers, and reports. The editors express a hope that the book will serve as a reference work for nutritionists, oil chemists, seafood processors and suppliers, policy makers and personnel involved with agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture, and the aquafeed and edible-oil industries; practitioners in most of these areas will find something of value in the book, but some will almost certainly have much of the information already to hand in the form of published reviews and via access to websites. As such, the main value of the book may not be in the new information it contains (which is rather limited), but in the fact that it draws together so much relevant information within a single volume. The book is made up of three interconnected parts, comprising three, seven, and five chapters, respectively. The first chapter provides readers with a global overview on the production and use of oil sources in aquaculture and the aquafeed industry, including a retrospective covering the development of the culture of intensively farmed species, and the concomitant increase in the need for feed ingredients. Chapter two is a primer in lipid and fatty acid biochemistry, and chapter three gives an overview of current oil usage by the aquaculture industry and a brief discussion relating to some thorny issues and controversies surrounding the use of various oil sources. Following this opening gambit, there are seven chapters that look at specific oil sources in detail; production and supply, chemical characteristics and advantages and disadvantages as aquafeed ingredients. The final five chapters of the book consider the effects of various oil sources, their fatty acids and other components, on the growth, metabolism, health and welfare, and post-harvest qualities and attributes of farmed fish. The overall structure of the book has been well thought out, and the chapters follow in a logical sequence, making it relatively easy for the reader to find a clear path to follow.
