A new guide to Tilapia farming the booming industry of the Philippines, has just been published. Its appearance is timely. Tilapia is an industry that has come from nothing to an annual production of more than 60.000 t within a decade. It is written by the Filipino scientist, Dr R.D. Guerrero, who has himself played an important part in the industry's development. With the help of 86 illustrations, a full picture of this thriving aquaculture industry is given, including descriptions of current hatchery and nursery practice, pond culture, cage culture and integrated farming.
