This volume was created to provide a source of information on design, construction, and operation of experimental aquarium facilities. The idea developed out of the editors largely unsuccessful search for published material on sea-water supply systems while planning the facilities for the Sandy Hook Marine Laboratory. The result is compiled volume of papers contributed by a number of aquarists who descibed their experiences in solving problems encountered in designing, constructing and maintaining systerms.

Describes water chemistry, technology and the biological and physical processes of the aquarium ecosystem. Additionally, it presents fish physiology, nutrition, diseases and health maintenance. Provides usable methods and specific protocols for keeping marine fish with the emphasis on professional approaches for public aquariums.

The second of a seven-volume series, The Literature of the Agricultural Sciences, this book analyzes the trends in published literature of agricultural engineering during the past century with emphasis on the last forty years. It uses citation analysis and other bibliometric techniques to identify the most important journals, report series, and monographs for the developed countries as well as those in the Third World.

Contains over 1,100 literature citations through 1992 related to water recirculation and aeration in aquaculture. The focus is on filtration, aeration, and circulation techniques in various aquaculture situations. Provides broad exposure to water quality, organics removal, invertebrate and algal culture systems, diseases and sterilization, and economics. References on partial recycled systems utilizing waste water treatment processes, and relevant sanitary engineering are also included.
