De piscinis et piscium qui in eis aluntur naturis libri quinque is a treatise on fish and fishponds by Jan Dubravius, originally published in Latin in 1547. This early work on aquaculture explores the nature of fish and the construction and maintenance of fishponds. Dubravius provides detailed observations on various species of fish, their habitats, and the methods used to cultivate them. The book offers valuable insights into the practices of fish farming during the Renaissance period, reflecting the era's growing interest in natural history and practical sciences. It remains a significant text for understanding the history of aquaculture and the scientific understanding of fish in the 16th century.
