Marine Finfish : Reducing the dependence on trash fish as feed for of marine finfish
Posted on 24/8/2010 (410 reads)

Poster on utilisation of pellet feeds
On-farm trials to determine the efficiency of trash fish vs pellet feeds in marine finfish culture have been completed under the project Reducing dependence on the utilisation of trash fish as feed for aquaculture of marine finfish in the Asian region. The trials were conducted in cage-based farms in China (Zhanjiang), Indonesia (Lampung), Thailand (Krabi, Phang Nga and Phuket) and Vietnam (Nha Trang).

The data from each country was analysed in respect of growth, production and economic benefit for the two feed types. The details of these analyses will be made available on this site and in respect of some of the countries published in peer reviewed journals.

The species used in the trials were:
  • China: Crimson snapper/Red snapper (Lutjanus erythopterus) and Green/orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides)
  • Indonesia: tiger grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus).
  • Thailand: Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) and tiger grouper.
  • Vietnam: Pompano (Trachinotus blochii) and red snapper.
The result of the trials indicate that the differences in the efficacies of the two feed types were not markedly different, for all the species tested, even after accounting for differences in the locations for any one species.
