Advances in Coral Husbandry in Public Aquariums

This book contains the contributions of the first international symposium on cultivating and keeping coral in aquaria. See also the news item on this topic above.
The book is divided into 5 sections: (i) Animal husbandry and aquarium system management; (ii) Coral exhibit design and large exhibits; (iii) Population management; (iv) Conservation and transportation; and (v) Taxonomy.

The information gathered in this book is important for achieving more efficient care and cultivation of corals in (public) aquaria. The authors hope that more symposia will follow in the future.

The book is the second volume of the Public Aquarium Husbandry series. In 2004 the Elasmobranch Husbandry Manual by Smith et al. was published (www.colszoo.org/internal/elasmo_2005/page1.htm). In this book sharks and skates are central.
