Dietary Supplements for the Health and Quality of Cultured Fish
Proper nutrition and feeding are critical components of aquaculture. Effective utilization of well-balanced diet formulations is of utmost importance and influences most aspects of production, including the cost, yield and quality of resulting products, as well as the sustainability of aquacultural practices including potential environmental impacts. In addition to the various required macro- and micro-nutrients, emphasis has been placed on non-nutritive supplements in recent years. These have been found to influence many attributes of freshwater and marine fish, particularly taste and colour, resistance to disease and health benefits to human consumers. This book presents a comprehensive review of the most important nutrients and non-nutritive supplements, using scientific evidence to support the best practices for using these compounds in diet formulations to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of aquaculture. This book is a valuable resource for students and practitioners in aquaculture and fisheries, as well as animal nutrition, feeding and husbandry.
Bone, Antler, Ivory and Horn
Artefacts made from skeletal materials since the Roman period were, before this book, neglected as a serious area of study. This is a comprehensive account which reviews over fifty categories of artefact. The book starts with a consideration of the formation, morphology and mechanical properties of the materials and illuminates characteristics concerning working with them. Following chapters discuss the organisation of the industry and trade in such items, including the changing status of the industry over time. Archaeological evidence is combined with that from historical and ethnological sources, with many illustrations providing key visual reference. Originally published in 1985.

Images of the Byzantine World
The main themes of this volume are the identification of 'visions', 'messages', and 'meanings' in various facets of Byzantine culture and the possible differences in the perception of these visions, messages and meanings as seen by their original audience and by modern scholars. The volume addresses the methodological question of how far interpretations should go - whether there is a tendency to read too much into too little or whether not enough attention is paid to apparent minutiae that may have been important in their historical context. As the essays span a wide chronological era, they also present a means of assessing the relative degrees of continuity and change in Byzantine visions, ...
