(Aquaculture International, 26 July 2011) "In conclusion, this comprehensive review is certainly useful for students, farmers, researchers, and all those in search for any subject related to freshwater prawn culture. Given the good coverage of all the subjects, in a well explained manner, this book will be beneficial for beginners and can clarify doubts of experienced farmers and biologists. Surely this beautifully bound book will be an asset to your scientific libraries!." (Journal of Crustaceana, 1 July 2011)"The comprehensive information presented in the book will be of immense use to those involved in the culture and trade of freshwater prawns, prawn farm personnel, business managers and researchers." (INFOFISH International, 1 February 2010)"Coverage encompasses biology and taxonomy; hatchery and grow-out culture systems; nutrition, feeds, and feeding; genetics; size management; commercial developments around the world; post-harvest handling and processing; marketing and preparation for consumption; economics and business management; and sustainability. … For prawn farm personnel, business managers, and researchers."
