The Shrimp Book by Victoria Alday-Sanz Saudi Arabia)
This definitive book on The Shrimp is the result of the contributions of 67 international authors. It contains a wealth of scientific knowledge that can usually only be located in a fragmented manner in specialised journals or presented at industry conferences that rarely reach a wide audience. It brings together the worlds of aquaculture science and industry production. The book includes descriptions of farming practices and the actual implementation of new technologies. The content is structured into six parts: shrimp farming; the shrimp as an animal; current farming practices; optimisation of feeds; biosecurity; and post-harvest. It is addressed to shrimp producers and service providers, researchers and students. It compiles, in one single volume, the full depth of the academic perspective together with the most recent developments in field practice. This book illustrates the important interaction between the academic and industry worlds. It facilitates access to information, knowledge and new ideas as well as bringing in material for debate and discussion.
Victoria Alday-Sanz has over 35 years' experience working on diverse aspects of shrimp and fish biosecurity covering understanding of disease process, diagnostics, sanitary legislation, health management, genetics and biosecurity. She has often collaborated as an expert for international organizations such as FAO, EU, EFSA and OIE. She has published approximately 40 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 70 articles in industry magazines and is the co-author, together with Prof. Tim Flegel, of the CD-ROM Diagnosis of Shrimp Diseases, with an emphasis on Penaeus monodon, and is the editor of The Shrimp Book.

This book combines this new perspective with the policy and development experience.
