Aquatics

Christian Lawrence et al.

Excerpt

This chapter provides the reader with a detailed overview of the basic requirements for housing aquatic animals used in research. The treatment of this subject in the chapter spans from the microenvironment (critical parameters of water quality and how various aquaculture systems and aquatic enclosures are designed and maintain this) to the macroenvironment (facility design and system functionality).
