Animal Sciences

Josef Šusta (1835 to 1914) was a Czech aquaculturist regarded as one of the modern fathers of fish farming. His 1884 book On Nutrition of the Carp and its Fishpond Associates (Výživa kapra a jeho družiny rybničné) dealt with how carp are fed in ponds, and together with Antonín Frič and Josef Kafka he revived the aquaculture industry of the Třeboň Basin by raising pond productivity. His other writings include Hospodářsko-rybářská těžba v rybnících of 1868 and the 1889 history of pond management at Třeboň, Fünf Jahrhunderte der Teichwirtschaft zu Wittingau.
