.# "Previously there was little or no economic and technical information by countries or by species on commercial aquaculture. This book was written to fill the gap existing in the literature. I have tried to present in an easy-to-read style detailed information about 28 countries, including all major producing countries. Between 5.5 and 6.0 million metric tons of such production of finfish, shrimp and crayfish are covered, which accounts for about 90pct of the world's total. An attempt has been made to present the most recent and pertinent information available".
