## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very technical and scientifically based, but lacks the ability to convey information to the reader
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2014*

As a final year marine biologist with a passion in ornamental fish rearing I've been keeping freshwater fish for about 8 years - 5 actively breeding and selling to shops on a small scale. I bought this book to advance my knowledge and extend it so that I could understand a more commercial based breeding approach for saltwater fish.Frank Hoff is no doubt very scientifically oriented. But as a fellow scientist myself, one thing we are taught is to be-able to convey information in a clear and concise way to the reader so that processes can be replicated easily. Frank's knowledge is strong, but it is not easy to grasp the ideas discussed. As you tend to find with high end professors or masters of the field, what they find simple to understand, others may say: "what on earth is going on." This is not helped by grammatical issues and sections that seem somewhat fragmented - which is what makes it difficult to interpret.Overall the book is still the most detailed I've come across but a revision will do everyone a favour. There is only so much you can obtain from a book and when you try to fit in so much information it really requires good editing to make it "flow" and be-able to sink in.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not for the amateur
  

*by J***C on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2008*

I really couldn't read this entire book.  Actually, it borred the isht out of me early on and I put it down.  This book is much more geared toward the 'semi-pro' fish breeders or marine biologists.  This isn't for the casual reef keeper who just wants to have a pair of clownfish in the display that breed and then raise the spawn in a seperate smaller tank.  Really way too technical of a read for casual hobbiests.  Its 3 stars b/c I didn't read all of it and can't comment on the quality of the information provided (neutral review) - this book just isn't for the hobby market.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    In a more academic approach...
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2012*

This one is different than any other aquaculture books around, since it has more academic and scientific approach to the subjects.Everything(and years of experience)explained in straight formal way with scientific charts, graphs and results.So it is not an "easy reading" or "read and forget" book.IMO a hobbyist should not try to finish the volume at once, but refer through different chapters when needed.A must have if you are really really want to get educated about aquaculture as a hobbyist, or a student.
