This new volume of The Shrimp Book is complementary to the first, bringing together new knowledge, new technologies, new perspectives and new ideas from 98 international authors, from both academia and industry. While Volume I was conceived from the academic experience, this new volume originates from the farming experience.

There are six parts. Part I on sustainability and insurance is followed by Part II on the shrimp as an animal - functional anatomy, its genome and genetics. Part III covers production systems - microbial, water and oxygen management - and Part IV feeds and feeding including feeding behavior and automatic feeders. Part V is on biosecurity covering shrimp response to virus, epigenetic management, new and old pathogens, and disinfectants. Finally, there is Part VI on post-harvest issues looking into trade and quality control concerns.

The Shrimp Book II is addressed to shrimp producers and service providers, researchers and students. It brings together academic perspectives and the most recent development in field practices.
