No results found.The need for developing suitable feeds based on locally available inexpensive ingredients has been widely recognized. Since lack of trained personnel is the main constraint in the development of fish feed technology in developing countries, the FAO/UNDP Aquaculture Development and Coordination Programme (ADCP) organized a special training course in fish feed technology at the College of Fisheries, University of Washington, Seattle, with a view to forming a small corps of fish feed specialists wh o could then be the focal points for future feed development programmes in their respective countries. The first report of the training course was presented in the report ADCP /REP/79/8. This present volume represents the edited texts of lectures presented by different specialists. Some additional material has been included for more complete coverage of the subject. Together, these texts may be considered to constitute a manual on fish feed technology, even though they were not prepared for that purpose. Twenty-six papers are included, under the general headings: (1) Digestion, physiology and anatomy; (2) nutritional bioenergetics; (3) nutritional biochemistry; (4) feedstuffs; (5) feed formulation; (6) feed manufacturing technology; (7) practical diets; and (8) quality control. Appendices include conversion tables, electrical data, and details on pelletability of selective feedstuffs, pellet die specifications, and equipment requirements for an 8 ton an hour feed mill. -
No Thumbnail AvailableTechnical studyThe artificial propagation of warm-water finfishes: a manual for extension 1980
Also available in:
No results found.This Manual deals with the artificial propagation of warmwater finfishes. Being primarily meant for the extension workers and aquaculture training institutions, it is profusely illustrated. It outlines the basic biological aspects of reproduction in fish and presents the various techniques being used for the collection of fertilized eggs, the artificial fertilization of eggs and the subsequent rearing of larvae and fry. Hatchery and nursery facilities, including equipment and tools, required to set-up a medium-size fish seed production and distribution centre are also included. The various methods of transporting fish eggs, larvae, fry and fingerlings are discussed. The methods of collection and preservation of fish pituitary glands and the dosage of pituitary extracts used for inducing successful spawning in various warmwater fishes are dealt with. Finally, artificial propagation techniques for some commercially important warmwater fishes are presented.
