Reviews: Methods and Technologies in Fish Biology and Fisheries Series Ed.: Nielsen, Jennifer L.
About this series | Titles in this series About this series Reviews: Methods and Technology in Fish Biology and Fisheries is an international book series publishing important new findings, processes, and protocols in the science and management of fish and fisheries.
Reviews: Methods and Technology in Fish Biology and Fisheries aims to provide that information in a timely and thorough manner through peer-reviewed volumes edited by the leading scientists in their field.
These volumes will serve as platforms for discussion of the pros and cons of new developments and technologies in fish biology and fisheries.
This series caters to those with interests in fish biology, fisheries, aquatic ecosystems, resource conservation, policy, management, natural resource technologies, modeling and assessment.

Fish Nutrition
Fish Nutrition: A Vitamin a Day Keeps What Away? The majority of research on the nutritional requirements of fish has, not surprisingly, been performed mainly on commercially important fish such as trout and salmon.
However, much of this information can be extrapolated to marine tropicals since fish have basically the same muscle and organ systems be they Rainbow Trout or Emperator Angelfish; they all use the same metabolic pathways (Fruland and Miller 1980).
This research has shown that there are four main constituents in the diets of fish, proteins (chains of amino acids), carbohydrates, lipids (fats) and vitamins, which are important for both growth (anabolism) and as an energy source (catabolism) (Moyle and Cech 1982).
Proteins are composed of amino acids, so far the following amino acids have been shown to be essential for fish, arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine (Moyle and Cech 1982).
The only problem is that the amount of each type required varies from species and excessive amounts can be detrimental to a fishes health (Moyle and Cech 1982).
Missing amino acids can result in scoliosis (curvature of the spine) in fish (Moyle and Cech 1982).
