In the ever-evolving field of aquaculture, understanding the intricate nutritional needs of fish is paramount to ensuring their health, growth, and overall productivity. This new volume, Fish Nutrition: Protein and Amino Acid Requirements, delves into the essential aspects of fish nutrition, focusing specifically on the crucial roles of proteins and amino acids in their diet. A culmination of extensive research and expertise from leading experts in the field of aquaculture nutrition, it provides a comprehensive overview of the protein and amino acid requirements of various fish species, shedding light on their specific dietary needs for optimal growth and performance. CONTENTS: About the Authors / Editors: Editors: Imtiaz Ahmed, PhD Associate Professor, Fish Nutrition Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India Imtiaz Ahmed, PhD, is Professor at Department of Zoology at the University of Kashmir, India. His pioneering contributions in the field of research include the determination of complete essential amino acid requirements of Indian major carp, Cirrhinus mrigala, at the fingerling stage as a part of his doctoral thesis and the 10 essential amino acids requirement of Heteropneustes fossilis and rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss at fingerling stage as a part of research projects. The key finding of his research projects have been submitted to the funding agency for proper implementation. He has determined and recommended the feeding regime/appropriate ration size of some important cultured fish species for the proper utilization of feed. The protein requirement of two cultured fish species inhabiting Kashmir water bodies i.e., Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio communis and C. carpio specularis were reported by him first from Kashmir. Apart from his studies in protein and amino acids requirements, he has also established quantitative information on vitamin requirements of different cultured fish species. He is the first to determine the feeding regime and protein and energy maintenance requirement of rainbow trout, O. mykiss, from Kashmir waters in lab conditions. He has also established nutritional values of indigenous snow trout Schizothorax spp., and seasonal variation in hemato-biochemical composition of fish habitating in coldwaters of Kashmir valley. In addition, he has also generated data on hemato-biochemical reference intervals of three fish species of the region. Dr. Ahmed has published more than 100 papers in well-reputed international journals and has several book chapters to his credit. Dr. Ahmed has supervised several MPhil and doctoral students in the area of fish nutrition, fish physiology, reproductive biology and limnology.

He has his specialization in fish nutrition, fish physiology and biochemistry, nutrigenomics, fish parasitology and molecular biology. His major research contribution is the establishment of optimum branched chain amino acid requirements for rainbow trout. He is an author of more than 35 research articles and several book chapters with international publishers, such as Scientific Reports, Aquaculture Nutrition, Aquaculture Research, Aquaculture Reports, Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Frontiers in Marine Sciences, etc. Dr. Ahmad has participated and presented his work at state, national, and international conferences, seminars, workshops, and symposia. He has received many awards, which include a young scientist award from a national organization and several best paper presentation awards. He is serving as editorial member and review editor for several reputed international journals, such as PLOS ONE, Frontiers in Nutrition, etc. Dr. Ahmad has also worked as a Senior Research Fellow in DBT-sponsored project on the nutrient requirements of rainbow trout fingerlings. In addition to this, Dr. Ahmad is the recipient of a CSIR NET award. He pursued his doctorate degree at the Fish Nutrition Research Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India.
