Aquaculture engineering requires knowledge of the many general aspects of engineering such as material technology, building design and construction, mechanical engineering and environmental engineering. In this comprehensive book, Odd-Ivar Lekang introduces these principles and demonstrates how such technical knowledge can be applied to aquaculture systems, offering the reader coverage including: Aquacultural engineeringAquacultural engineering.639.8Lekang Odd-Ivar865322MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996203963303316Aquaculture engineering1931413UNISA
